Dear Sir,
I am in receipt of advice to the effect that No.11928 Private V. W. Cocks, 9th Field Ambulance is returning to Australia per transport "Borda" which left England on 11th May, 1919 and will probably arrive in Melbourne about the 27th June, 1919. Further information as to the exact date of arrival and time of disembarkation will be published in the press when availabe.
It should be noted, however, that owing to possible mutilations in the cabled advice, and other causes, this notification may not be correct pending verification from the roll after the arrival of the troopship.
Any further inquiries should be made to the Staff Officer Returned Soldiers, Military Headquarters, Paddington, NSW.
Yours faithfully
J McLean, Major
Office in Charge, Base Records
