Frederick Austin Reynolds, from Queenscliff, was aboard the lead ship, H.M.S Elizabeth, that landed at Gallipoli with the 1st Field Company, Australian Engineers. He was among the first fatalities of the landing on April 25, 1915, and was buried in Shrapnel Valley Cemetery with thirteen other engineers, marked by a simple wooden cross.
