Studio portrait of 354 Private (Pte) William Copeland, 21st Battalion. A butcher from Launceston, Tasmania prior to enlistment, Pte Copeland had previously served with the Queensland Bushmen in the Boer War and embarked with B Company from Melbourne on HMAT Ulysses on 10 April 1915. Whilst at Gallipoli he was declared as missing and a subsequent court of enquiry determined that he had drowned near Lemnos Island on 2 September 1915 when the ship he was on, HMT Southland, was torpedoed and sunk. He is commemorated on the Helles Memorial, Turkey.
