Please see the articles/links below re the commemoration of Dave Gallaher's centenary of his passing in the battle of Broodenseinde in Belgium.

Ramelton born Dave Gallaher perished as a 43 year old soldier one hundred years ago from this week on 4th October 1917. His exploits as a rugby player, leader, innovator and captain of the 1905 Originals, set him apart as one of the most influential rugby players of all time.

He lost two other brothers in the war and left behind a widow and young daughter.
