Pte Ralph Goode (Lilydale), 2nd Field Ambulance: On board the HMAS Wiltshire, from his diary –‘Great satisfaction, leave granted for squads of fifty men ashore at a time in charge of officers. Great disappointment, all leave stopped owing to some men breaking ship and swimming ashore previous night, also pelting native water police with potatoes. On account of this we weighed anchor at 10am and put out to sea and dropped anchor about three miles out’.
