Pte Felix Hargrave (Lilydale), 7^th Battalion: In hospital in Malta. In a letter to his sister in Lilydale – ‘Malta is a very nice place. It is an island in the Mediterranean near the coast of Spain. We get good treatment – good food, good nurses, and good English doctors. The Maltese people are very good to the wounded, bringing fruit, books, cigarettes etc to the hospital. The people are of Spanish or Castilian decent and the girls are the prettiest I ever clapped eyes on (with all due respect to the Australian lassies). The kiddies are such affectionate little beggars; they run along and take you by the hand. Goodness help you if you sit down in the parks; they will ‘mobilise’ you shouting ‘Mr Australia! Mr Australia!’. I don’t know how long I will be here but suppose I will be going back to the Dardanelles shortly’.

William Guillerme (Lilydale): Leaves his job as a labourer and enlists in the AIF, he is 31 years old. He had been born in Tunis, North Africa to French parents.
