Was sent with about 40 of his own battn. and a platoon of 13th to charge a section of the Australian Line at Quinn's Post that had been occupied by the Turks, who were too strongly entrenched for such a small party. On the edge of the trench was shot, and died immediately after. Killed in Action, Quinn's Post, 10th May, 1915. Commemorated in Lone Pine Memorial. Member S.U. Scouts (Private, 1903; Captain, 1912).

His death is a glorious and fitting close to a brilliant career.
