Biography contributed by Faithe Jones
Son of George Sydney Lindeman and Mary Lynch, his wife.
Mrs. F.W. Lindeman, of Guildford, has been informed by the military authorities that her husband, Major F.W. Lindeman, died of wounds on July 23. Major Lindeman, whilte at the Sydney Grammar School, joined the Parramatta River Naval Cadets under Mr. H.M. Shelley, remaining with that corps two and a half years. He then received his first commission as Lieutenant in the 1st Australian Infantry Regiment, later being appointed adjutant of that regiment, serving therin four and a half years. In April, 1913, he resigned from the military forces on being transferred to Hughenden, Queensland, as sub-manager of Dalgety and Company's branch there. He enlisted early in 1915, and left for the front on June 24 as adjutant of his battalion, with the rank of captain. He landed at Suvla Bay, and remained there until the evacuation. In connection with the letter he was paraded and complimented by the general officer commanding for his work with the rearguard. On returning to Egypt the battalion took part in the operations in the vicinity of Moascar, after which it was reorganised, and was one of the first to reach the firing line in France. He received eight days' leave in May of this year to visit England, and on his return to duty was promoted to the rank of Major. He was a son of the late Captain G.S. Lindemean, R.N., and was only 24 years of age.
