Trp Arthur Rouget (Wandin), 13^th Light Horse Regiment: Leaves Australia bound for Egypt on the HMAT Persic. From his diary –‘2.00am – Roll Call, 4.00am – issue of prunes, 5.30am – get out of bed, great commotion in the camp till 8.30am saddle up. 9.00am we move off, leading our horses as they are a bit fresh. Quarter mile from camp we mount up, a few get spills, no bones broken, arriving at the pier about noon. Put the horses on board and wait on the pier to receive the colours, the latter presented by Governor Stanley. We go aboard ourselves. The people then allowed on the pier, very soon we are away’.
