Sgt Frank Dixon (Wandin), 59^th Battalion: Reported ‘missing in action’ since the battle of Fromelles, his family received word on this day from the YMCA National Council in England that Frank was actually being held as a prisoner of war in the Hotel de La Paix in Leysin, Switzerland. As a result, the family and his fiancée all write letters to him. However three months later the military authorities confirmed that this report was false and that he had in fact been killed in action at Fromelles the year before.

Pte William Walker (Montrose), 24^th Battalion: Is evacuated from the field to hospital in France suffering from influenza.
