Portrait of 1810 Private (Pte) Allan Edmund Betts, tailor, of Latrobe, Tasmania. He enlisted in the 12th Battalion on 5 January 1915 and embarked from Fremantle on HMAT Argyllshire on 19 April 1915 for Gallipoli. Pte Betts was evacuated to Malta on 19 August 1915 suffering from a leg infection and dysentery and then to England for treatment and convalescence. He returned to Egypt just prior to the battalion relocating to France and the Western Front in April 1916. Pte Betts was killed in action near Vadencourt, north east of Amiens, France between 19-22 August 1916, aged 20 years. He has no known grave and his name is recorded on the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial, France
