[Private George Eykyn Culverwell, No 4363.

Letter from George, surname not noted, with accompanying note from his brother-in-law F G Pratten.

From his service and other records, George can be identified as Private George Eykyn Culverwell, No 4363, a clerk from Woolwich, NSW, who enlisted aged 34 on 29 April 1915 and served with the 3rd Australian General Hospital. He was at Mudros on Lemnos Island in December 1915, suffering from dysentery, when the letter on page 197 was written and was later evacuated to hospital on Malta. He later served in Egypt and France and returned to Australia on 8 August 1919.
