Lachlan Tuesley was in Egypt with the 2nd Remount Unit to look after and train horses of the Australian Light Horse Brigade. In March 1916 he was kicked by a horse and spent six weeks in hospital at Maadi. He returned to Australia in June when the unit was disbanded and joined the Home Service Corps as a guard. While on home leave in Toowoomba in late February 1917 he became ill and died a few days later. He was buried with full military honours. He was survived by his wife and their five children.
