Pte Thomas Goodall (Lilydale), 24^th Battalion: In the front line, France. In a letter to his younger brother – ‘I see you are getting on well with the farming, I suppose you will be head boss soon, especially as you are leaving school. I am quite well again now and back in camp. I have had a good time lately, Geo Smith from the Glen is here in this camp, he was wounded I don’t know where Fred Searle is and George don’t know either. I stayed in London a few days and then went to Scotland when on my furlough and had a good time in Glasgow and Edinburgh. It is very wet and cold here now, we had a couple of days snow last week and it was very cold’.
