Pte Fred Town (Lilydale), 2nd Division Ammunition Column: Is evacuated from the field to hospital in France suffering from conjunctivitis.
Harold Smith (Silvan): Leaves Australia on the SS Borda as an Australian War Worker, he is to undertake farm work in England. Being well over the age for the trenches, he had become so concerned with the drop in volunteers that he settled up his interests, paid off his debts and headed off to England to ‘fill any gap required, be it road making or stretching bearing’.
