Pte Charles Willimott (Lilydale), Mechanical Transport Division: Arrives in the United Kingdom from Egypt. He is with a group assigned to assist the British Transport Service on the Western Front and as a result is one of the first AIF men to arrive for service in Europe. In a letter to a friend in Lilydale – ‘We had a good trip over. We were in Egypt only five days and left all the other troops there. It took us just two months to get here’.
