3 May 1915

The assault on Baby 700 at Gallipoli continues. Two more men from Orange are killed in action: William Daniel McCarthy and Joseph McCullough.
The Leader publishes the first casualty list of the war, containing 34 [sic] names, 19 killed (three of whom are from NSW) and 14 wounded (five from NSW). No mention is made of casualties from Orange.
The Defence Department declares that next of kin will be informed of a casualty as quickly as possible and no names will appear on a casualty list until the next of kin has been informed.
