He died 27^th October 1919 at the General Hospital Launceston and was buried in the Christ Church Cemetery, Longford, Tasmania, Australia.

News has been received that Pte Aubrey Rudd, second youngest son of Mr T. Rudd, of Launceston, has been killed in action in France. His brother Pte H. O. Rudd saw some heavy fighting on the Gallipoli Peninsula, and was invalided home about 12 months ago. Another brother Pte. Stanley Rudd has been severely wounded necessitating the amputation of his right leg. The fourth member of this patriotic family is also in the firing line. Much sympathy is felt in Westbury for the bereaved family, they having been residents there for many years.
