Kōrero taurongo
- Son of Mr William Lambert and Elizabeth Lambert, of Auckland.
'Raced into the firing line. Our fellows had no trench, just an old and shallow water course and we were out-numbered five to one. It was death to put your head up to fire. machine guns and trenches about 200 yards in front. Poor old Roy Lambert tried but was killed instantly - hit in three places. I had just been joking saying that he would go into a charge as if he was scoring a try. Lieutenant Richardson was mortally wounded on my right and little O'Meara of our section was shot in the knee on my left.' (from 'War Diary of Pte F. E. McKenzie 12/190' -copy in Auckland War Memorial Library MS 96/13)
The National Army Museum holds a scrapbook collated in the memory of Sergeant R. W. Lambert, it contains numerous newspaper clippings relating to his death and efforts as a rugby player and tribute poems from friends and family (National Army Museum 1999.100).
Roy Lambert is commemorated on the bell Chunuk Bair, given by his sisters and brothers for the National War Memorial Carillon, Wellington.
Attended Auckland Grammar School.
Promoted sergeant, 14 April 1915.
His death was incorrectly recorded as killed in action, Gallipoli, 18 May 1915. However it was later amended to 25 April 1915.
Parents: Mr & Mrs William Lambert, Auckland
