Head Qrs
2nd Military Dist
I know nothing whatever about this matter
The claim appears to be for supplies obtained in August last from the S S [Matarain?] and placed on board S S Kanowna at Thursday Island for the use of the Troops from 1st Military District which were then about to be despatched on foreign service -
These troops did not ccome under my command until I arrived at Thursday Port Moresby on 5th September which place they had reached some time previously and as I considered them unfit for active service they were returning almost immediately to Townsville - They were only under my command for about 3 days
