Glen Thomas Lampard was one of four sons of George and Mary Ann Lampard of Balmoral, Victoria who served with the AIF during WW1.
Glen’s younger brother, 1974 Pte. John Lampard 14th Battalion AIF had died of wounds at sea off the coast of Gallipoli on 12 August 1915, aged 24.
Glen was an original member of the 14th Battalion and had served at the Anzac landing. He was admitted to hospital in Malta with a gunshot wound to the head on 4 June 1915. After over two months there he was embarked to England with enteric. He was in England until July 1916 when he was sent to the Western Front. He only rejoined the 14th Battalion two days before he was killed in action on 10 August 1916.
Glen Lampard was seen to be in a dugout which suffered a direct hit, smothering Lampard and other man with earth. Other men dug them out but both were deceased by the time they recovered their bodies.
His two surviving brothers, 1382 Gordon Lampard and 1975 James Cyril Lampard, both of the 14th Battalion, suffered wounds during the same action but later returned to Australia.
