Alfred Edward Moore, a Van Driver from Allandale, Vic, enlisted in the 29th Battalion, 4th Reinforcement on 12 July 1915 at the age of 19. His unit embarked from Melbourne, Victoria, on board HMAT A68 Anchises on 14 March 1916. Aside from a few bouts of illness (including a reoccurring middle ear infection) which required hospitalisation, Pte Moore's service record suggests he was fortunate during his tour of duty as not to get wounded in the field of battle. He returned to Australia 7 June 1918.

His brothers Charles and Joseph also served in the AIF and are honoured with trees in the Avenue.

Lucas’s Staffs Appreciation of Brave Men, the original Avenue register, records his name as Alf. E. Moore.
