Description

Members of the 1st Light Horse Regiment at the graves of 484 Sergeant (Sgt) Louis Shannon Brook, Military Medal (MM), 1st Light Horse Regiment, of Pimpino, Vic, (left) and 3371 Trooper (Tpr) Clarence William Radburn, 1st Light Horse Regiment, of Neville, NSW, (right) next to the Hedjaz Railway line near Amman, Jordan, where both men were killed on 28 September 1918 although these original grave crosses are marked 29.9.1918. Despite detailed notes and maps on the location of the graves on Tpr Radburn's service record, they were never found by grave registration units in 1922. Sgt Brook is now commemorated on Panel 58 at the Jerusalem Memorial and Tpr Radburn on Panel 59 at the Jerusalem Memorial.
