C. Mulvey, who was killed in action at Quinn's Hill, on the night of the 14th May, 1915, on the Gallipoli Peninsula.  A charge was made on the Turkish trenches, and was very gallantly carried out by the squadron, under Major Graham, who was himself killed. I desire to express very deep regret at his loss, and my sympathy with his relatives."
