Biography contributed by Stephen Brooks

Lindsay Neyland served briefly with the 13th Light Horse before being sent home to Australia with trachoma during early 1916.

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.
