Sgt Ralph Goode (Lilydale), 2^nd Field Ambulance: In France. In his diary – ‘At 9am this morning we moved up to the advance stations in blinding rain. We are just in Delville Wood, the conditions are absolutely indescribable, the whole place is one mass of shell holes and the mud is knee deep. In this we are working carrying stretchers, two men to one stretcher, the artillery is awful’.
