This year marks 110 years since the Gallipoli Campaign. During this period, we will be sharing a short series of ANZAC stories ( ) that highlight the shared historical military connections between Malta and Australia.

Theodore Charles Kleeberger was born in September of 1893 in Corryong, Victoria.

Two weeks after the First World War had been declared, Theo departed Port Melbourne for two months of initial training.

The 6th Battalion landed at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915 as part of the second wave. On the 6th of August the battalion were issued orders to destroy Sniper’s Trench. The fighting was chaotic. During the battle Private Kleeberger was wounded in his hands by a bomb blast. He was evacuated from Gallipoli and admitted to St. Elmo hospital in Malta. By this time his wounds had become septic. He died on the 18 August 1915.

Private Kleeberger was buried at the Pietà Military Cemetery.
