Biography contributed by Geoffrey Gillon

Cyrus was only 19 years old when he became Private 2029 in the Australian Imperial Force. After receiving gun shot wounds to his left thigh and left side (probably near Messines, Belgium), he was admitted to Colchester Military Hospital on 4 June 1917. After spending seven months recuperating, he returned to his Battalion on 9 February 1918 – only to need further treatment in Colchester Military Hospital, a few weeks after promotion to Lance Corporal on 16 April 1918. At the end of August 1918, another wounding to the left wrist and hand necessitated treatment in Cheltenham Military Hospital. He was not discharged until January 1919.
