Trp Arthur Rouget (Wandin), 13^th Light Horse Regiment: From his diary (Lemnos) – ‘We stay at Lemnos for a few weeks and spend our first Xmas from home getting our Xmas billies and enjoying a good rest. We are not here long when we are once more put on board, this time on the Simla. Back once more to Egypt, disembarking after a short but not too pleasant journey at Alexandria’.

Pte Marcus Kay (Lilydale): While still at Broadmeadows Military Camp he is discharged from the AIF as being medically unfit.
