Eustace Aron

Sub-Lieutenant Eustace Mars Aron was an Anglo-Australian officer of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve who died during the First World War.
He was born on 2 November 1885, in New South Wales, the son of German-born storekeeper and wine merchant Maurice and his wife Minnie Aron (née Simon), of Melbourne. The Aron family settled in England some time before 1891. His mother had died in Australia, and, in 1900, his father remarried, to Agnes Gerechter, originally of Germany.
Aron initially enlisted in a public schools' battalion before joining the Hawke Battalion of the RNVR as an other rank. With his battalion, Aron landed at Cape Helles, on the Gallipoli Peninsula, in May 1915. He was commissioned as a temporary sub-lieutenant on 17 December of that year. In May 1916, Aron transferred to the 2nd Brigade's Machine Gun Company, on the Western Front. He was reported missing, presumed killed, six months later, on 13 November.
He is buried in Ancre British Cemetery, Beaumont-Hamel
