Albert Victor Luxon was born in Portland, Dorset in November 1867 and enlisted in the Royal Engineers in March 1890, direct from the ranks of the 13th (Volunteer) Battalion, K.R.R.C. In his subsequent career of 21 years with the Colours, he undertook tours of duty in India and Ceylon, where he served in Submarine Mining Companies. Having then been appointed a Quarter-Master Sergeant in December 1905, he was discharged in March 1911 and died in Torquay, Devon in March 1952.
