"Pte. Sullivan was killed by the infliction of a wound, caused by the accidental discharge, by himself, of his rifle, in the act of cleaning it. This soldier was, at the time of the accident, doing duty as a duly posted sentry, and was evidentally preparing his rifle for an arms inspection of which he had been warned." - Findings of a Board of Inquiry, from his Service Record (recordsearch.naa.gov.au)
