Hornshaw and Fowler provide the extra details. Originally from Swansea, he was not married. He had survived being wounded but developed dysentery when he returned to his unit and died in the Australian Military Hospital on Lenos. He is also commemorated on IWM 2224. He was probably the brother of Abraham, also commemorated here, as they both had a father with the unusual forename of Abram.
