An 18 year old farmer prior to enlisting on 22 September 1914, he embarked for overseas with H Company from Melbourne on 22 December 1914 aboard HMAT Ceramic. While serving with the battalion at Gallipoli, he was killed in action on 9 May 1915 at Lone Pine. Pte Ayers is commemorated on the Lone Pine Memorial, Gallipoli, Turkey with others who have no known grave.
