Well we have been very busy this last few days getting things together to go back to "Anzac" We are now on a boat called the "Ismania" about 7000 Tons. Well on leaving the camp today I never had such a load of things in all my life I had all my equipment & a big sugar bag of tinned butter fruit & fish for we knew we would not get any once we left. I will never forget it We had about 1½ miles to walk & I thought it was 20 miles one of the men along the road who was riding asked me if I was a camel. Well we arrived on board 27 Oct 1915 Well we amused ourselves by playing cards all day & night. on the evening of the 29 Oct 1915 we started back again & arrived that night & camped on the side of the hill. next day we went up into the firing line & stayed there for a few days & then came round towards Browns Dip to relieve one of the 3rd Brigade Battalions. Well we are settled down very comfortable in a nice big dug out partly covered with tin & partly with water proof sheeting.
