George Roy McGregor DEY was born at Winnininnie Station, North East South Australia. He was educated at Largs Bay School, and St. Peter's College, Adelaide.
Joining the Bank's staff at Adelaide on 20th July 1910 George Dey was sent to Kapunda in April 1913 as assistant and remained there until he enlisted on 15th June 1915.
While at Mitcham Camp he passed the examination for Sergeant in August, and qualified for a commission in October, being appointed second lieutenant on 15th December 1915. He was instructor in musketry during the early part of 1916, and left Australia with the 15th Reinforcements of the 10th Battaion, AIF in March 1916.
George Dey spent six weeks in Egypt and then went to France. He was engaged in the Battle of Pozieres and in the attack on Mouquet Farm in August. During the latter battle, although Lieutenant Dey had not been well, and was advised by the medical officer not to go out, he insisted on taking his place and went over the top with his men, falling riddled by bullets a few yards from he trenches. His body was never recovered, and it is believed that he had been placed in a shell hole and treated by the AMC but while there was struck by a bomb and killed.

Informal portrait of 3735 Private (Pte) Albert Francis Dunnicliff, 12th Reinforcements, 10th Battalion, of Adelaide, SA. Albert was born on 4 September 1901 to Mabel and Ernest Dunnicliff. His father had previously enlisted and was killed in action on 6 August 1915 at Lone Pine. Albert enlisted three weeks later on 28 August 1915 aged just 13 years; he is probably the youngest person to enlist and serve in the AIF. Albert embarked from Adelaide aboard RMS Malwa on 2 December 1915 and arrived in Egypt on 11 January 1916. Not long after arrival he had a badly in grown toe nail and was moved from his unit to the 12th Battalion (his late father's Battalion) to a hospital in Cairo. After leaving the hospital he was transferred to the 5th Pioneer Battalion and shipped out to France. In December 1916 Albert wrote an application for discharge stating that his father and brother had been killed at Lone Pine and that he could not stand the strain of the front in France for much longer. He also admitted to lying about his age. Albert returned to Australia on 12 April 1917 after serving with the AIF for 16 months.
