I wonder how recruiting is since you've heard of our toil. I hope the digging out of the men is going on – Under 21 or 22 are no good – – – – – The best that Australia can produce came with the 1st Division – they had it in the blood – – – – – Some are said to have advanced with tears streaming down their faces, as their pals fell one after another – tears of anger. The Turks got from them quicker than they did from the Bulgarians.
No rain today – beautiful Mediterannean blue: down the valley I get a glimpse on a hill side of a plateau with 3 Turkish tents still standing & a lot of clothing & things lying about: They went very soon for the 3rd Brigade ran down or slid right on top of them.
I asked mother to tell you I met Chidley – Chidley the dainty! on the beach – I admire him. – – – – –
Burdett is detached from me – he is orderly officer to the Lt. Col. (L.H.) who is permanent Commandant of our Post: but is well.
