| Gus as a member of the Essendon Rifles, 1915. |
Gus Stelling was a young man of great promise. He was a lively boy who enjoyed life - he joined the Boy Scouts, did Universal Training with the Senior Cadets and the Essendon Rifles, and was a skilled artist. He was employed prior to enlistement as a process engraver with a company in Melbourne. Gus literally gave his life for others at Gallipoli. Thanks to the kindness of the Dusek family we are able to catch a glimpse of the life of a young man who paid the great sacrifice. He died aged 20.
