William Hutton arrived in France in November 1916 after four months of training in England. He transferred to the 52nd Battalion which had recently suffered 50 percent casualties at Mouquet Farm. In July 1917 in France, a week after being promoted to Sergeant, he was severely wounded in action near Bailleul. He was evacuated to the 2nd Australian Casualty Clearing Station where he died of his wounds the next day.
