taking field in Gallipoli) 1 Medical Officer KILLed 1 Q.M. & 1 Subaltern. KILLed – 4 Subs wounded – two of whom have returned long ago to the Bn – Only three promotions to 2nd Command of Coys have been made since leaving for "Anzac". Further you can be satisfied, as of course I am Certain you are, that I play the game, from the fact that I have once been "mentioned" and have now been strongly recommended for the Military Cross. With parents like you brave couple how could one be a cur.
Don't worry that I shall not take care of myself though – my great prayer is that I shall return to you – I ask God that I shall return to you in honour and in health. Honour, first – I intend to send a cable "Both well – Love" – so that you will know that we are all right – You had better address my mail - Lieut WAC
