This is only one instance of M.O. indifference or callousness.
19/4/16 Wednesday
Very cold last night – Very fair day.
Corporal of a Picquet all day. Rumours that there is heavy fighting on the Canal. A lot of men are moving off. We heard that owing to the delay in leaving Zeitoun Camp – my name was called at Telekebar for Artillery & not being there to answer it was crossed out. Needless to say I am very disappointed. This is a very large Camp. I think I would be right in saying it is 5 miles long – so it is hard to imagine unless you see it what numbers of men are in Calico City – They style this Camp third line of Defence – Rumours of a lot of casualtys amongst Australians in France – also that no more transfers from A.M.C will be considered.
The Flying Squadron alongside us – condescended to give us an evenings music on the Band, we all appreciated & broke the monotony.
