Grid Cluster(Sorted by Photo ID only)

Records indicate that 396 men of the 11th Battalion died as a result of the Gallipoli campaign, many others died on the Western Front and many of them will be in the Cheops photo. Photo ID#'s showing in this index in bold green text are identified & confirmed, ID#'s in bold yellow text are identified but not yet confirmed.

Identifications

The column with the two stars ** denotes a Gallipoli related death


Identifications progress table

There are 704 men in the Khufu/Cheops photo, the Battalion strength was 1024 men, therefore 320 men whom were in the Battalion at the time are not in the photo, presumably on other duties, sightseeing elsewhere, sick or absent for some other reason.

Notes

1) The rank shown for the men in this index is their rank at the time of the Cheops photo (10 Jan 1915) and in most cases being their rank on embarkation from Australia; they may have achieved a higher rank at a later date.

2) The Battalion Company shown for the men in the above table is the original enlistment allocation, and does not reflect the Company than the men were in at any other time. Soon after the 11th Battalion and the other Australian Infantry Forces arrived in Egypt they were re-allocated into a four Company structure to comply with the British Army establishment, instead of the original eight Companies of the AIF Battalions. The original 11th Battalion A & B Companies were merged into "A" Company, C & D into the new "B" Company, E & F to form "C" Company, and G & H into "D" Company. While the 11th Battalion restructure was as above, some other Battalions were re-structured into different company allocations, for example original A & C companies were merged into "A", B & D into "B", etc.
