A day later it went into the line at Hill 60. In the fighting there between 21 and 29 August half its menn became casualties. Feagan was one of those who died, on 27 August. His body was not recovered and he has no known grave. His name is listed on the Lone Pine Memorial.

His elder brother, 6258 Private Sydney Richard Feagan, also served in the war, which he survived, with 2 Battalion, AIF.
