Felix Gordon Giles born on 23 November 1885 in the Wesleyan Parsonage in Palmerston (as Darwin was then known) was the first child of the explorer and pastoralist Alfred Giles, who had been Second-in-Command of the expedition that set the route for the Overland Telegraph Line to Port Darwin. His mother Mary Augusta (nee Sprigg) was also a significant pioneer, she and her maid Lydia were the first white women to live on a station in the Northern Territory. He was also the nephew of Christopher Giles, a First Class Cadet with Surveyor-General George Goyder's party that had arrived in Port Darwin in 1869 to identify a site suitable for settlement, and then a Sub-Inspector for the construction of the Overland Telegraph Line.

    Major Felix Gordon Giles was one of only two Officers of the 10th battalion, and only four officers of the 3rd Brigade, to be present on Gallipoli from the landing until the battalion withdrew on 21st November 1915.   He was born on the 23 November 1885 in Palmerston (Darwin), Northern Territory, the son the pastoralist Alfred Giles and his wife Mary Augusta (nee Sprigg). He trained at the School Of Mines University in Adelaide as an electrical engineer. He joined the South Australian Scottish Infantry as a private in 1908 and by 1913 was lieutenant, commanding A Company of the 79th (Torrens) Infantry. He married Elsie Kilpack Marshall on 24 July 1909 at St Peters College Chapel at Hackney, South Australia, the marriage producing 5 children. When he volunteered on 19th August 1914, at the outbreak of WW1, he was promoted to Captain.
    He embarked with his Unit from Adelaide, South Australia, onboard Transport A11 Ascanius on 20 October 1914. On 25 April 1915 he landed with his D Company troops from the destroyer Scourge and moved rapidly up the cliffs and inland. He distinguished himself by leading 150 men along a Wire Gully through Monash Valley in a determined but futile attempt to bridge the gap existing between the latter and Baby 700. He and his men had been fighting since the dawn of the landing and were the last parties to be relieved when the Royal Marine Light Infantry arrived, and the 10th bivouacked on Shell Green. After the evacuation, in March 1916 the 10th Battalion sailed to France along with the rest of the 1st Division and deployed to the Somme.  The battalion's first major action on the Western Front came in July 1916 when they were involved in the Battle Of Pozieres, he fought on the Western Front till 1917, when he became Assistant Commissioner of the ANZAC Corps School. The men of the 10th affectionately knew him as ‘Farmer’
    He was nominated for honours (including a foreign decoration) in November 1915 and January 1916, while later in 1916 he was recommended for the Distinguished Service Order for his "cool resource and gallantry under fire". At Pozieres, Giles played a valuable role in linking up two key objectives; he was gassed and, on no less than three occasions, was knocked down by high explosive shells. He persisted until after nightfall and then, despite being very shaken by concussion, guided his company into the position and had them establish their defences.
    For his conduct, Giles was again recommended for the DSO: "Major GILES has exhibited great skill and judgment and was at all times wonderfully cool and collected under the most trying circumstances"
    His good work in the capture of Le Barque in early 1917, including his harassing of the enemy rear guards during the German withdrawal, earned for him further recommendations for honours. It was for his meritorious performance during the operations around Boursies and Beugny in early 1917 that Giles was 'Mentioned-in the Despatches of Sir Douglas Haig on 9 April 1917.  He was finally awarded the DSO in 1917 for, "services rendered in the prosecution of the war"
    Being somewhat outspoken, he attracted fame in 1918 when he refused to serve under Lt.Colonel M. Wilder-Neligran, GMG, DSO & DCM when that officer was transferred to command the 10th and at the same time refused to hand over the command.
    On the conclusion of the war, returned to Adelaide on 21 February 1919, and resumed his civilian employment as a Meter Superintendent with the Adelaide Electric Supply Company. He enlisted for service again at the outbreak of WW11, aged 53, commanding the 4th garrison for the duration of the war. He died 22 June 1950, aged 64 years at Blackwood, South Australia
