"...182 Private Alfred William Bryant. A clerk from Essendon, Victoria, prior to enlistment, he embarked from Melbourne with the 29th Battalion aboard HMAT Ascanius (A11) on 10 November 1915. Pte Bryant died of wounds in France on 7 August 1916. He was 22 years old." - SOURCE (www.awm.gov.au)
"The 29th Battalion fought its first major battle at Fromelles on 19 July 1916. The nature of this battle was summed up by one 29th soldier: "the novelty of being a soldier wore off in about five seconds, it was like a bloody butcher's shop"." - SOURCE (www.awm.gov.au)
