Edward Rennix "Teddy" Larkin (21 September〔 1880–25 April 1915) was an Australian parliamentarian and a national representative rugby union player who saw service in World War I and was killed in action on the first day of the Gallipoli Campaign.〔(Lane, Daniel, "ANZAC hero Ted Larkin: The greatest sacrifice of all", ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', (18 April 2015). )〕 He was one of only two serving members of any Australian parliament to fall in World War I (the other, who also fell at Gallipoli (on 4 May 1915), was George Braund). Larkin was the member for Willoughby in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from December 1913 until his death. ==Early life== Larkin was born at North Lambton, New South Wales, to William Joseph Larkin, a quarryman and his wife Mary Ann, née Rennix. His family moved to Camperdown in Sydney where the young Ted Larkin was schooled at St Benedict's Broadway, run by the Marist Brothers. For his last two years of senior schooling he boarded at St. Joseph's College, Hunters Hill, where he played in the college's 1896 first rugby XV. After school he worked in journalism before joining the Metropolitan Police Force in 1903 as a foot-constable, later being promoted to first-constable in 1905. His prematurely grey hair made him appear much older than he actually was.〔("Rambler", "Memory of 'Ted' Larkin, 'A Fellow of Infinite Jest', Brimful of Fun: Reminiscences of Some of Heroic Patriot's 'Interludes' Here and There", ''Referee'', (Wednesday, 14 July 1915), p.12. )〕
