"At the age of 21 Constable Eugene Nugent joined the Queensland Police and was sworn in as a constable on the 10 of March 1915. Nugent embarked aboard the HMAT Shrophire A9 from Sydney as part of the 25th Infantry Battalion on the 20 of August 1915. He was promoted to Lance Corporal during training and retained this rank on his arrival at Gallipoli. Lance Corporal Eugene Nugent was killed by a bomb fragment which struck him in the forehead on 15 of October 1915, just three days after he arrived at the front. He was 23 years of age." - SOURCE (www.police.qld.gov.au)
