Bronze next of kin plaque, showing on the obverse, Britannia holding a laurel wreath, the British lion, dolphins, a spray of oak leaves and the words 'HE DIED FOR FREEDOM AND HONOUR' around the edge. Beneath the main figures, the British lion defeats the German eagle. The initials 'ECP', for the designer Edward Carter Preston appear above the lion's right forepaw. A raised rectangle above the lion's head bears the name 'JUSTIN BREGUET'.

Born in Geelong, Victoria in 1897, Justin Hercules Breguet was employed as a bread carter when he enlisted in the AIF on 28 July 1915, with his parent's consent, shortly after his eighteenth birthday. He had previously served for four years in the senior cadets. After initial training he was posted a private, service number 1983, to the 3rd Reinforcements for the 29th Battalion.

On 18 February 1916 Breguet embarked from Melbourne, aboard HMAT A70 Ballarat. He arrived in Egypt on 18 February 1916 and the following month joined B Company of his battalion. The battalion arrived in France, for service on the Western Front, on 23 June.

Breguet was killed on 29 July during the Australian 5th Division's first major battle, at Fromelles. Both the 29th and 30th Battalions had been detailed to provide carrying parties for supplies and ammunition. As the Australian position deteriorated the 30th Battalion was drawn into the vicious fighting. At 11pm it called on the 29th Battalion for assistance. By 2am on 20 July, all the 29th's companies were engaged.

Breguet's body was not recovered after the battle, although his death was confirmed by the Germans who returned his identity disc to British authorities in March 1917. His name was subsequently listed on the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial in France.

In 2008 five mass graves containing the remains of Australian and British soldiers who had died during the battle and had been buried by the Germans were discovered at Pheasant Wood, near Fromelles. A major excavation of the site was conducted in 2009 and the remains of 250 men were recovered. A new war graves cemetery, the Fromelles (Pheasant Wood) Military Cemetery, was created for them and was formally dedicated on 19 July 2010. Many of the men have now been identified through DNA analysis linking them to current family members. Justin Breguet's body was identified in 2016.

This commemorative plaque was sent to his father, Justin August Breguet, in July 1922. His eldest son, Leslie William Breguet, also served in the AIF and survived the war.
