Biography contributed by Horizon Christian School

Albert Lentiligent Romeo was born in Sydney, NSW, Australia. His home town was in Surry hills, NSW, Australia. His only training was as an electrician. He was married to Ethel Romeo when he signed up for the war. He might have enlisted because it was a duty to serve his country, they would leave a regular man and come back a hero, another reason is that he was married and it would be protecting his family.

Albert embarked in the 4th Battalion. In March 1916 the battalion went to France and took part in operations against the German army in Somme Valley. This was Albert's last battle.

Albert then died on August 4 1916 in the Second London General Hospital in Chelsea. He died after getting shot in the head and getting meningitis from the wound. He was buried in Kensal Green (All Souls) Cemetery.
