Did I tell you about our concert last night. Quite a success. We had Charles Knowles the Covent Garden Baritone & he sang "My old Shako" better even than Jim does. Also he sang "The Old Brigade" better than even I do. (This last you might not believe: but its true) I recited a couple of times & was not pelted with anything but plaudits.....
Horses are very restless tonight. I think it must be the locusts. They have made two attempts at stampeding already. I have trebled my piquets on headquarters horse lines so I think we are all right.
More of our Australians starting for the front in a couple of days. We may move any day now but I think the Light Horse will be held here a couple of weeks longer. We are getting rather impatient at these continual waits . We are not as patient as we thought.
I'm tired. Good night everyone.
Saturday I suppose you are all out
