Collection relating to the First World War service of 201 Company Quartermaster Sergeant Alfred Leslie Guppy, 14 Battalion, Egypt, Gallipoli, Western Front, 1914-1917.
Wallet 1 of 1 - Consists of three handwritten diaries created by Guppy between 22 December 1914 and 28 March 1916 and 20 November 1916 to September 1917. The diaries describe his enlistment, training in Egypt, service on the Gallipoli Peninsula and experiences on the Western Front in France and Belgium. The last section of the diary contains his personal notes about his capture at the Battle of Bullecourt in April 1917 and subsequent incarceration as a prisoner of war of the Germans. Guppy refers to an additional diary, entitled ‘No. 3’ and presumably containing his writings from March to November 1916, but this is not held by the Memorial. The wallet also contains a copy of a speech given by Lord Roberts of Manchester in 1912, which was kept by Guppy within his diary.
Guppy served almost all of the war with 14th Infantry Battalion. He was present at the landing at Gallipoli, the attacks during May and August and was evacuated in December. He returned to Australia in 1919 and also served in the Second World War.
