War Service Register notes:
DENNIS, Pte. James, 3223A. 31st Bn. Died 25th July, 1919.

27 July 1919. James service record gives date of death as 25 July 1919.
I expect the person registering the death in South Australia made an error.
James service record gives cause of death as
Drowned at Sea through jumping overboard.

Note.
James service record of 74 pages contains a lot of information and is available online.
