Lemnos I went into the 1st Australian Field Hospital at Mudros Village. I stayed here till the 4th October. I was then sent to the 4th Clearance Hospital inland about a mile. Whilst there I went for a walk on the hills close by, on which the Turks & Greeks had some heavy fighting during the Balkan War 6 years ago. The remains of barricades and trenches were plentiful, but I was unable to secure a cartridge case as a memento. However, I secured some coloured stones, rather than come away empty handed. After a fortnight I went on board the transport & Hospital Ship "Acquitania" and sailed for England at 7 a.m. on October 21st.
