William Edward Sing, DCM (3 March 1886 – 19 May 1943) was an Australian soldier of Chinese and English descent who served in the Australian Imperial Force during World War I, best known as a sniper during the Gallipoli Campaign. He took at least 150 confirmed kills during that campaign, and may have had over 200 kills in total. However, contemporary evidence puts his tally at close to 300 kills. Towards the end of the war, Sing married a Scottish woman, but the relationship did not last long. Following work in sheep farming and gold mining, he died in relative poverty and obscurity in Brisbane during World War II.

  • 沈比利,DCM(英語:William Edward "Billy" Sing,1886年3月2日-1943年5月19日),特等軍功章(DCM)奖章获得者,一战中的澳大利亚士兵,1886年出生于昆士兰州,为中英混血,父亲为John Sing(籍貫上海),母亲为Mary Anne Sing(婚前姓Pugh)。 沈比利为二十世纪最出色的狙击手之一,仅在加里波利战役不到四个月(5月至9月,1915年)的时间,经证实狙杀150名土耳其官兵,如包括未经证实的则为201名,並傳聞擊敗了奥斯曼帝国近卫军為狙殺他所派出的优秀狙击手「可怕的阿卜杜拉(Abdul the Terrible)」,因此得到“加里波利刺客”(The Assassin of Gallipoli)之名。 沈比利之後繼續轉往西線服役,並在戰場上受到了槍傷與毒氣傷害的後遺症;戰後他移居澳大利亞並與妻子在1920年代初離異,從有限的紀錄來看之後主要從事礦工工作,1943年在貧困中因主動脈瘤破裂而去世。 沈比利的事跡被拍成片集 The Legend of Billy Sing,此片集因起用白人飾演沈比利及其父親,遭澳洲華人抨擊,指它偏離民族歷史。 (zh)
