"...2346 Trooper Ebenezer Round, 2nd Light Horse Regiment, of Bundaberg, Qld. Tpr Round had emigrated to Australia in 1910 from Quarry Bank, Stafordshire, and worked as a farmer before enlisting in January 1916. Leaving Australia for Egypt as a signaller with the 16th Reinforcements in March 1916, Tpr Round was transferred to the 4th Divisional Ammunition Column on arrival in France in July 1916, and was transferred again to the 11th Field Artillery Brigade in November 1916. For his actions at Longatte on the 22 April 1917, Gunner (Gnr) Round was awarded the Military Medal (MM) for "[assisting] in digging out three men who had been buried in a trench by a bursting shell. Though twice knocked down by concussion of enemy shell bursts, he continued his task till all three men were released. He then assisted in carrying them through a shell-swept area to the Dressing station". Gnr Round was killed in action along the Menin Road on 10 September 1917, aged 27." - SOURCE (www.awm.gov.au)
