Extract from Wikitree:

Bob Hockridge joined the AIF on 20 Oct 1914, Regimental No. of 280, and was assigned to B Company, 9th Australian Light Horse. Three days later he was made a Corporal, no doubt influenced by his two years with the B Company Infantry at Wallaroo. He was a big man, 6 feet tall and weighed 12 stone 8 pounds with a 38 inch chest. He was 26 years old when he enlisted. He embarked at Melbourne on H.M.A.T. A10 "Karroo" on 11 Feb 1915 and arrived at Galipolli on 16 May that year. On 17 July 1915 he was admitted to Hospital Anzac with Influenza. On the 24 July 1915 he died onboard the hospital ship H.S. Sicilia from typhoid. Records then show that he was buried at sea on 25 July 1915 between Gallipoli and Malta, the service conducted by the Rev. E. Teale, but later this was corrected by the Australian Graves Service which had records showing that he was buried at gravesite #26, Mudros East Cemetery, Lemnos, Aegean, the service conducted by Captain Stirling. It was for a time believed that this was only a memorial site but the AIF later confirmed this to be his actual grave. He was awarded the 1914/15 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal.
