I have a fine pal – an officer named Rossiter 2 Lieut. Rossiter. He is a fine chap and one worth knowing.

I went to mass this morning – 7 o'clock – about twenty of us there.

Tomorrow morning we go into the firing line again for another 48 hours – On Thursday next we will be in Reserve again and so our padre intends to celebrate mass on that morning – We have plenty of opportunity to go to mass – or prayers – at the present.

A great number of men are being sent away Sick - Far more sick than casualties –

I hope George got the jobs at Maryboro' and Dalesford – We did have a fine job – picking out all that onion weed. Stewarts Lawn -

Wasn't that dashed hard luck about "Head". Killed on the first day, his next of kin being notified on the 10th June – 46 days after his death – by Defence Dept – that Sergt Head had been wounded not seriously. Of course it must have been a general mix up on the day of the landing. Things are working perfectly
