=LEVI, KEITH MAURICE=, Capt., A.A.M.C., attached as Regimental
Medical Officer to the 2nd Battn. Hampshire Regt. 29th Division, yst.
_s._ of Joseph Levi, of Liverpool Buildings, 153, William Street,
Melbourne, formerly of Lulinghi, Princes Street, St. Kilda, J.P., by
his wife, Katherine S. dau. of Maurice C. Davies, and gdson. of the
late Hon. Nathaniel Levi, M.L.C.; _b._ St. Kilda, Victoria, 6
Oct. 1890. He was educated at Cumloden and Melbourne Church of England
Grammar School, afterwards proceeding to the Melbourne University. He
was a student at Ormond College and took his M.B. degree in April,
1914. Whilst at the University he took great interest in the Sports
Union and was for some time Capt. of B grade hockey team and played in
inter-varsity matches. He was also a member of the University Rifles.
After graduating in medicine he was appointed a Resident Medical
Officer at the Melbourne Hospital, and later on joined the Staff of
Perth Public Hospital. Volunteering for active service on the third
day after war was declared, he served as Medical Officer at Blackboy
Camp, W.A. and afterwards at the Broadmeadows Camp, Victoria. He left
Victoria on Feb. 6 for Egypt, with the Light Horse reinforcements, and
was stationed at the First Australian General Hospital, Heliopolis, for
two months. Proceeding thence to the Dardanelles he was for a time on
hospital ships bringing wounded back from Lemnos to Alexandria. He was
sent to organise a rest camp on the island of Imbros, and it was from
there on June 29th he was ordered to Cape Hellas, and attd. to the 2nd
Hampshire Regt. 29th Division, as Regimental Medical Officer. Major J.
G. Bell, R.A.M.C., Acting Director of Medical Services, 29th Division,
wrote: “I am writing to you about your son’s death. Being separated
as he was from his own Australian Troops, it is possible that no one
else may write you any particulars. He joined this division (29th) and
was placed in medical charge of the 2nd Hampshire Regt. This suited
him; he liked his work and became most popular with the regt. He was
one of the best regimental Medical Officers in the Division. On the
6th of this month [Aug.] the brigade to which his regiment belonged
became engaged and suffered severe casualties. He worked splendidly
just behind the firing line all that afternoon and all night getting
back the wounded, dressing and attending to them. At about 6.30 on
the morning of the 7th when his work was practically over, and he was
standing with another officer, a Turkish shrapnel shell fell close to
him killing him dead, together with some five other men. He was buried
where he fell, next to a Captain of the Hants, with two officers of the
Essex Regt. close by. He is buried in an open nullah. I saw his grave
this morning, and a suitable cross is being put up this afternoon by
the regt. Your son’s death is a great loss; he took such an interest
in his work, was so keen about it, and had done so well”; and in a
letter to his mother, Lieut. and Q.M. A. Smith, of the Hampshire Regt.
wrote: “I was within two yards of your son when he was killed. I am the
Quartermaster of this Battn. and knew your son more intimately than
anyone else in the Battn. as we were almost always together. All the
officers and men liked and respected him for his calmness and coolness
in all the trials and dangers of this campaign; I am asked to convey
to you and yours the sincere condolence of the officers of this Battn.
in your great bereavement, and I am sure it will be of great comfort
to you to know that he was killed instantaneously and did not suffer
any pain. On Aug. 6 an attack was made by our Brigade on the Turkish
trenches, your son being in the same place as myself. When the attack
was launched about 3.45 p.m. the wounded began to come in and they came
through the Battn. Dressing Station all night, about 220 officers,
non-commissioned officers and men were dressed (their wounds being
attended to) and sent down to the base, your son working continuously
all through the night. At 6.45 a.m. we were ordered to move back and a
fresh battn. was sent to relieve us, your son and myself were having
some breakfast before starting (as the dressing station was being taken
over and cleaned up), when a high explosive shell came from the enemy
and exploded close to us, killing three, and wounding four, all of whom
had been attending on the wounded. Your son was amongst the killed,
a piece of the shell killing him instantaneously. He was buried in a
separate grave close to the spot where he was killed, a stone with his
name marking the spot.” Col. A. Thackeray Beckwith, Commanding Officer
2nd Hampshire Regt., also wrote: “Though I was not present on 7 Aug.
when he was killed I heard exactly about it from Lt. & Q.M. A. Smith of
my Battn. who was with him, and I know the spot intimately. Your son
had worked like a Trojan, attending to the very large number of wounded
in the attack of 6 Aug., and with the Quartermaster and about five
other N.C.Os. and men was curiously enough in a hollow just behind the
front trench where no shells had ever pitched before, when two shells
came down quite close to each other, a piece of one hitting your son in
the chest, killing him instantaneously by shock and not by laceration.
His loss was a very great one to us, he had done sterling work for
the Battn. and in spite of the danger was never absent from our
trenches, used most conscientiously to go round them seeing to all the
sanitation, attending the wounded, etc. And on one particular occasion
went out of his way to help bring in a wounded Canadian officer from
a dangerously exposed place.” Capt. Keith M. Levi was mentioned in
General Sir Ian Hamilton’s Despatch of 11 Dec. 1915 [London Gazette, 28
Jan. 1916]. He was _unm._

Col. Stanley, 1st Life Guards, wrote: “The trenches were very small,
and your husband was passing from one to another when he was shot dead
by a bullet in the neck. I need hardly tell you the awful shock it has
given the squadron officers and men, and the loss of one to whom we
were devoted will remain with us for ever. Your husband knew no fear,
and was always so ready and willing to help me in any way he could
with the squadron.” He _m._ at St. George’s, Hanover Square, W.,

succoured the Englishmen and struck so decisive a blow against the
enemy that a punitive expedition was rendered unnecessary. For this
