Biography contributed by Geoffrey Gillon
He is one of two Australian soldier casualties of the Great War remembered on the Wisbech, Old Bartonians War Memorial. Major & Mrs. Mallam, bought Barton House in 1913. However, unbeknown to them, they also took on a number of debts, and were declared bankrupt. After the Barton House School, Wisbech, was demolished the memorial was placed in St Peter & St Paul Church, Wisbech.
Dedicated by the old boys of the Barton School to the glory of God and in loving and honoured memory of the Bartonians who laid down their lives for justice and right in the Great War 1914-18.
