About Edward Larkin
Edward Rennix Larkin was an Australian parliamentarian and a national representative rugby union player. Larkin was the member for Willoughby in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from December 1913 until his death. He served in the Australian Imperial Force in the First World War, and was killed in action on the first day of the Gallipoli campaign. He was one of only two serving members of any Australian parliament to die in the First World War — the other was George Braund, also a New South Wales MLA who was killed at Gallipoli.
