He was 33 and had previously served with the Dorset Regiment (Territorials).
He emigrated to Australia aged 29. His brother Thomas Edward Lutley emigrated to Canada and fell in action 29th July 1917, aged 39, whilst serving as a Private [Service Number 490547] with the 1st Battalion, Canadian Infantry.
They were sons of Edward and Emily Lutley, of Whitehall, Hemyock, Cullompton, Devon.
The brothers are remembered on the Hemyock War Memorial situated in the churchyard of St Mary’s Church, Hemyock. It has a square base surmounted by a tapering plinth, a shaft and a wheel cross with the inscription on bronze plaques on one side of the plinth and on the step, with a low brick wall behind it; the side of the cross has a Celtic knot-work design on it.
