"...1925 Private William James Kilduff of Sydney, NSW. Originally enlisted in Sydney and was assigned to the 19th Battalion. He then attended Broadmeadows Camp [presumably put off his ship due to ill health] and was assigned to the 59th Battalion. He embarked on HMAT Port Lincoln with the 3rd Reinforcements, leaving on 4 May 1916. From the time he arrived in England he suffered bouts of ill health and was admitted to hospital dangerously ill in late 1917 with tuberculosis. This improved enough for him to leave hospital, but he was recommended for return to Australia and for discharge due to this illness. He had arrived back in Sydney, but was quarantined at North Head when he died on 6 Octrober 1918..." - SOURCE (www.awm.gov.au)
