Albert was an original AIF man, who served both on Gallipoli and in France as a member of the 18th Battalion. He suffered from the effects of gas. The local branch of the RSL made all arrangements for the funeral in the returned soldiers' reserve at the cemetery. The funeral left the Methodist Church, and Rev. J.C. Barrett officiated at the graveside.
