Where has the info come from that he was in Gallipoli?
I can't see any medals awarded to him for overseas service.
The above is an application.
His first unit listed is the 25th. Training Reserve Btn. who were
home service only.
Added
Was looking for Wallis Adams not Darlington.
Only looked at the card.
there's a pension ledger for him in the Leinsters but no MIC.
His unit at discharge was the RE (Waterways & Railways).

Are getting the information from Baptism records    CORRECTED DATE
St Columba Liverpool

Ruth bap 6 December 1916 parents Wallis Darlington and Matilda - father Soldier address 53 Great Orford Street Liverpool (reg 1st quarter 1917)

Rupert bap 6 December 1916 same parents and address (he was not reg until next quarter)

Need the actual birth certificate £1.50 if you can get a PDF copy.

Fascinating, no idea the twins were baptised in Liverpool soon after their births. The father of Matilda (Adams) Darlington died on 29 December in Dublin so I assumed Matilda came home for his funeral as the twins were baptised in her local COI church St Judes Inchicore Dublin. Have record of the baptisms and the later baptisms in 1920 when the twins were "adopted" by the couple who I and my family assumed were the biological parents. That is until 20 years after mother died we discovered she was   "adopted". However no adoption in Ireland until 1952and  this alone is why the story of the twins turned into a saga that took me 23 years to unravel, thanks to Ancestry DNA

The children if full term would have been conceived late February/March , January would be 11 months.

Wallis died 1945 and Matilda 1957 they seem to stay together, perhaps other circumstances caused the adoption. They  would have been 4 years old in 1920
