Memo: Explanatory of letter written at Mudros West – Rest camp - 20 Sept/15 –
The artillery (as well as other arms of the Service) had been through a strenuous time – and had recently been in great deal of action – Since the battle of Sari Bair 6th/7th August, matters had become quieter and advantage was taken to give some of the troops a spell and rest – thus a detachment of Artillery went to Limnos Island where they rested for three weeks, returning to the front at Gallipoli Peninsula on 6th Oct/15
Note. Will contrbute letters from Lieut Eric Lenehan – Artillery – Brigade Ammunition Column now in Sydney ill – and [Driver] R. Wise – Army Service Corps – who was wounded and returned to Sydney – Since discharged being found unfit for further service –
Wish to have my letter typed before depositing in Library – intending to furnish another letter later on –
