<p>[Page 118]</p><p>Company money of £2 on the 5th of June, 1918. On the 7th of June, 1918, they gave me back the documents and photos that had been confiscated. We had to leave behind our vegetable garden in Trial Bay, which had just begun to yield good crops. There was a sarcastic little note about it in the Sydney newspaper Sun of 9th/6/1918: [original in English] Germans help Soldiers The German Concentration Camp at Trial Bay has been closed, and the Germans have left behind them a vegetable garden of considerable value. The Germans have spent nearly £1000 on it, and it is set out on scientific lines containing cement pits, trenching & so on, and is now chock full of seedlings and plants.</p><p>[Note in Margin] K. £2/-/-</p>
