Son of Robert and Eliza Harvey Landale; husband of Edythe Landale.
Our London correspondent telegraphed last week that Captain Cyril Landale, of the King's Royal Rifles, had been killed in action. Captain Landale was well-known in the Deniliquin district of New South Wales.
Captain Cyril Landale, who left here early in the war to offer, his services to the Empire, has made the supreme sacrifice in France. He was a son of the late Mr. Robert Landale, of Deniliquin, and brother of Mr. Hunter Landale. He married his cousin, Mrs. Alec Landale's second daughter, Edith, a few years ago, and the pair settled in England, but were here on a visit to the latter's mother when war broke out. Their only child died in infancy shortly before Mr. and Mrs. Landale came back to Melbourne. Deep sympathy is felt with Mrs. Alec Landale, who was deeply attached to her son-in-law. All of the Alec Landale sons are in khaki. The third fell in action in the British forces in the first car of the war. Captain George and Lieut. Gordon Landale have been at the front for the past three years, and Mr. Alec Landale for two.
