Dvr Harry Dinsdale (Olinda), 5th Field Artillery Brigade: Is evacuated to hospital in England with a severely fractured right leg.
Trp Bert Hutchinson (Lilydale), 4th Light Horse Regiment: In camp in Palestine. In a letter to his future wife, Jessie Mackenzie of Yalca, Vic – ‘We have shifted away from the beach and will be doing a little more drill ‘just to keep us fit’. I expect we will do some more shooting at the range while we are here. Last week we went out on a three days’ stunt and this is the longest we have been away from camp. We did not do any dirty work as we were in reserves but the Taubes came over to see us.
Life over here is much about the same every week. On Wednesday evening there is a concert which is being given by the Honourable Artillery. I hope to be able to attend the concert. The weather over here is lovely just at present and most likely the weather will be good for another two months and then we shall feel the cold’.
