Extract from Bond of Sacrifice: Officers Died in the Great War 1914-1916, volume 2, page 126:

LIEUTENANT RAYMOND de LUSIGNAN, 1st BATTN. ROYAL DUBLIN FUSILIERS, only son of the late Mr. II. M. de Lusignan and of Mrs. de Lusignan, was born on the 13th February, 1894, at 29, Holland Road, Hove, Sussex.

He was educated at Marlborough house, The Drive, Hove, and at Charterhouse, entering the R.M.C., Sandhurst, in 1911. He was gazetted to his regiment in September 1913, and joined the 1st Battalion in India, remaining with it at Quetta until it was recalled to form part of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force. He was promoted Lieutenant in September, 1914, and was killed in action on Sunday, the 25th April, 1915, at Sedd-el-Bahr, Gallipoli Peninsula, while trying to pull a wounded man back into cover. It is a curious coincidence that Lieutenant de Lusignan supposed to be the last of his line, met his death in battle with the Turks, fighting against whom his ancestors, centuries before, helped to make history.

Lieutenant de Lusignan was a member of tile Public Schools Club and of the Cavendish Club, Piccadilly.
