Note
This was a completely unsourced profile for a Richard Nesbitt (no family links entered) 1900 Australia-1916 Gallipoli, Canakkale, Turkey same approx dates and same Death place and year. Have not been able to find any Richard and wonder if it should have been Thomas that fits except for name so have changed this to Thomas
