On the right is Pte J King - possibly Pte John L King 357 5th Batalion AIF KIA 27 June 1915 aged 19. This man is, however, buried at Beach cemetery. There is no obvious candidate in the records for Shrapnel Gully Cemetery.
More centrally are two men killed in action on 18 July 1915: Lt Herbert A Biggsley of 6th Battalion AIF and LCpl James T Lilburne 1569 of 5th Battalion AIF.
