Arthur Mark Carroll (SN 1674) born in Ballarat, was a 32 year old maltster when he enlisted in Ballarat on March 7th 1916. On April 4th he embarked aboard the Euripides and in September he reached France to serve with the 59th Infantry Battalion. Just two months later he was evacuated to hospital in England suffering from pleurisy and bronchitis and could not rejoin his unit until August 1917. Again, he was only there a short time when he suffered a shrapnel wound to his buttock and was again evacuated to England. This time his war was over, and he was returned to Australia aboard the Nestor. He disembarked on February 1st 1919 and was discharged medically unfit on March 11th.

His brother Horace was killed in action in August 1916 and his brother Thomas also served in the AIF and they are honoured with trees in the Avenue.

Lucas’s Staffs Appreciation of Brave Men, the original Avenue register, records his name as Mark A. Carroll.
