Cpl Ralph Goode (Lilydale), 2^nd Field Ambulance: In the field in France. In his diary – ‘Living in these villages is not much chop, it sort of gets on your nerves, one never knows the minute one will go up in the air. Everything you touch you wonder if there is a mine attached to it, when you’re walking about you wonder if you will step on some hidden mine and set it off. This afternoon a mine went up in Yelu, in a building that had been demolished, it’s over fourteen days since Fritz left this village and the mine went off today, killed six, wounded eight. I’m beginning to wonder if there’s anything under my place of abode, altho it’s a smashed house there might be something under the floor, let’s hope not’.
