I almost forgot to mention that about 30 got caught going over the side and were fined 8/- each.<br/>A Sergeant was caught also and was reduced to ranks and 10/- fine. He wasn't a Dinkum one or else they couldn't have reduced him without a court martial. Sept 12 We are having better tucker now, and we also had an issue of tobacco to day. My praise for the Red Cross of W.A. is above imagination. This morning we had to give a declaration of the silk stuff etc we are fetching home. We are only allowed £10 worth and above that we have to pay duty for but I guess that £10 is quite enough for a Soldier, wer'e not tourists I guess. I have been rather fortunate of late, I scored a cabin yesterday a two berth, an Hospital Orderly and I occupy it and it's a snogger too</p>
