Gnr Clifford Jackson (Lilydale), 5th Field Artillery Battery: While on board the HMAT Hororata he throws a bottle over the side with the following note: ‘On Troopship A 20. We are having a beautiful trip, and at present it is a glorious night. Have just finished a good sing song round the piano. Passed a Red Cross hospital ship returning this afternoon at 5.15 o’clock. It was about six miles to starboard. Everybody happy and contented’. It would wash up on the shores of Western Australia and on January 28th, 1917 be found by Mr J H McGlade of Bremir Bay, WA, who then forwarded it on to Clifford’s father.
