William Edward `Billy` Sing, DCM (2 March 1886 – 19 May 1943) was a Chinese Australian soldier who served in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) 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. One contemporary estimate put 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.
