V interested in your chasing up Dudley Hussey. My grandfather was George Forbes Hussey KIA with the Australian Army in 1917 as was his eldest son Arthur Dudley Hussey shortly after.
Apparently there was great distress in Brisbane Queensland when the Irish (home) connection lost cousin Dudley.
Arthur served on Gallipoli with distinction, fell ill and was rehabilitated on Malta spent some time training in England before going to France. I can't find any reference to his court martial, but I can only imagine that like a lot of others he was fed up and 'borrowed' a few things from the French locals. He was only in the stockade for a short while and given the chance of returning to the front - the Australian army was in dire straights for replacements. He was killed in another stupid pommy attack!
