Pte Donald Fergus Scott (Mt Evelyn), 6^th Battalion: In hospital in Egypt. In a letter to his father in Mt Evelyn – ‘I was in hospital for a fortnight after being wounded at the landing, and then detailed for duty in the 1^st Australian General Hospital until I am fit to go back to the front and the sooner the more agreeable to me, I had quite enough of the ‘six bob a day tourist’ business in Egypt and want to see the thing through. I am attached to the 1^st Australian Medical Corps and after fighting at the Dardanelles it is a bit of a novelty. Since I have come back from the front I have also been a cook in the No 1 Detail Camp. They’ll have to find me something to do till I’m fit, for I’m not going back till I’ve had a decent show at the Turks’.
