He died on 24 April 1918 and is buried at the Villers-Bretonneux Military Cemetery on the Somme. On the previous day German tanks and infantry had broken through the lines and captured the village of Villers-Bretonneux. The Australians counter-attacked on the 24th and recaptured the village.

The CWGC site has no information about his family or even his age.

The equivalent Australian site has little more personal information but does give his full name. He enlisted in West Perth. It is almost certain that he is Arthur Edward Pluck, the youngest of the fourteen children of Samuel Pluck and Elizabeth Waylett. He was born in Saffron Walden in Q3 of 1890 and was unmarried. He is PL1752 and can be found in Tree101.
