Phillip Schuler

Phillip Frederick Edward Schuler (c. August 1893 – 23 June 1917) was an Australian journalist, a war correspondent at the Gallipoli campaign.

He was appointed war correspondent for The Age and was on board HMAS Melbourne during the engagement of her sister ship Sydney against Emden on 9 November 1914, and on General Bridges' flagship Orvieto during the assault on Gallipoli in April 1915 and at Mena Camp, developing a friendship with Charles Bean, who remembered "Peter" Schuler with admiration.

[1] He enlisted in Belgium in April 1916, transferred to catering corps, promoted to lieutenant in May 1917, and was responsible for some innovations that made army food more palatable.

The reports which he brought back from his rambles were fuller than the official news and truer, and his history of Anzac will always remain the classic for that period on that account.

But his bravery and energy crowded his short stay at Anzac with such experience, as has rarely been gained by journalists, and he held the honor of Australian journalism very high.
