We know that in June, 1918, 620099 Driver Albert Thomas PUGSLEY, 1/1st Somerset Battery, R.H.A. (Royal Horse Artillery) which was part of the British XVIII Brigade R.H.A. comprising the Inverness, Ayr, and Somerset Batteries which was attached to the Anzac Mounted Division, was in the Jordan Valley. We also know that on 7 June 1918, PUGSLEY died of disease and was buried in the Jordan Valley by his comrades.
It was only through a chance photograph that we are even able to remember PUGSLEY. The photographer was 889 Sergeant Robert Henry SABIEN, 1st Field Squadron Engineers, who was a bit of a shutter-bug, took a photograph to illustrate the varied work of his troops, one task was to build and erect the crosses for the fallen comrades. To this end, he had the carpenter and sign-writer sit on their jig with their latest handiwork which happened to be the cross built for PUGSLEY. We can date this picture as being a couple days after 7 June 1918.
