    Biography contributed by Stephen Brooks

    Eastaugh was wounded by bomb shrapnel in the legs and captured at Mouquet Farm, France, on 3 September 1916. His parents in Hawthorn, Victoria, received a card from him, posted in Germany, when the Army still had him listed as missing in action. He was held as a POW by the Germans until repatriated to England during December 1918. He arrived back in Australia in April 1919.
