Biography contributed by Stephen Brooks

Edward Pringle Neyland served in the 9th Light Horse at Gallipoli from May 1915 and in the Middle East until he returned to Australia in early 1919. Born in 1897 he was only 17 years of age when he enlisted.

He had seven brothers who served, five in the AIF and two with the British Forces. One brother, James, was killed with the Gordon Highlanders during 1917 and another brother, Niven, was captured at Gallipoli during August 1915 and spent three years as a prisoner of war in a Turkish prison camp. They were all the sons of John Pringle and Margaret Ann Neyland of Birchip, Victoria.
