Son of Mrs. Emma Apted, of Neerim, Gippsland, Victoria, Australia.
Enlisted 15th November 1915 1st Battalion Wellington Regiment NZEF
APTED.- In loving memory of Albert T. Apted (our dear Bert), killed in action at Passchendaele, on October 4, 1917.
It does not seem so very long ago
Since he lay a precious little bundle in my arms
I watched him grow to manhood,
And then, ah! then, a far-off grave in France.
