Studio portrait of 1530 Private (Pte) David Edgar Griffiths, 3rd Light Horse Regiment, of Deloraine, Tas. A labourer before enlisting in August 1915, Pte Griffiths left Australia for Egypt with the 11th Reinforcements in October 1915, arriving in France for service on the Western Front in May 1916. After being promoted to Gunner (Gnr) in February 1917, he was wounded in action by German artillery fire at Fouilloy, France, on 27 May 1918 but remained on duty. After furlough in England in January 1919, Gnr Griffiths was admitted to the 5th Casualty Clearance Station with broncho-pneumonia on 17 January 1919 and died six days later, aged 24. Gnr Griffiths was the oldest brother of 3659 Pte Frank Gordon Griffiths, 26th Battalion, who was killed in action a Pozieres on 29 July 1916 (see P07386.002) and 3621 Pte Ralph Arnold Griffiths who was killed in action at Hamel on 27 July 1918
