Pte George Milne (Lilydale), 6^th Battalion: In camp in Egypt. In a letter to his mother in Lilydale – ‘First mail from Australia in today, and everyone expectant, but few letters to hand, probably on account of a few days only separating mail from our departure. To-night, to keep men in camp, concert and ring contests are being held; and a glass of beer to each man. Tomorrow will be another day for sightseeing, and then our leave will be curtailed. We get no news of Australasian casualties’.
