Summary[edit]

Description
English: 11th Reinforcement, 15 Battalion, Australian Imperial Force

Private Bassett, the youngest son of a Queensland family, was employed as a commercial traveller before the First World War.

He enlisted in Roma, Queensland, Australia on 5 July 1915 and sailed from Brisbane on board HMAT Seang Bee on 21 October 1915.

Whilst serving with the Divisional Pack Transport Troop on the Western Front, Pte Bassett was awarded the Military Medal for his work in conveying supplies to battalion headquarters every night under sustained heavy fire during the Battle of Messines in June 1917.

He went on to see action in the German Spring Offensive and was appointed lance corporal in July 1918. Shortly afterwards, Lance Corporal Basset was wounded by a gun shot wound to the wrist which necessitated the amputation of his hand and his retirement from active service on 23 September 1918.
