Burial/memorial information

Additional information
Son of Albert George and Ann Mallalue (formerly Boyle), of Bedford Park, London. Served in the Matabeleland Campaign.

Brother in law of Captain George Clapham Dixon who served with The Royal Flying Corps.

From "The Annals of the King's Royal Rifle Corps, Vol. V, page. 110: "...Subsidiary attacks were made at various points in the British line during the 25th [September 1915].

In each case the result was about the same. The attackers met with some success at first, capturing trenches and prisoners, but were then bombed out by counterattacks, finishing the day where they had started. In an attack on Bellewaarde, by the V Corps, our 9th Battalion, near the scene of their losses on July 30, went to the support of the 9th Rifle Brigade, who had obtained a footing in the German second-line trenches. They had a hard fight, chiefly bombing on both sides, and lost 2nd Lieutenants C.W. Murray, P.H. Habershon, J. Howell, L. Pemberton, and E.P.M. Panes killed; and Captain M. Mallalue, Lieutenants F.S. Dansey and G.M. Warren wounded. Other ranks, 33 killed, 188 wounded, 29 missing."
