1st September 1915
“I knew that for us to move meant men, & I am afraid my deduction was only too correct. I have not seen a list of the casualties of the men yet but I am writing to the N.Z. record office for a full list up to date from the 1st August. The casualties amongst the officers of the regiment was 4 killed & 4 wounded, just a little over 25 per cent of them…I only hope the casualties among the men are not in proportion to the number of officers, or there will be a sorry tale to tell. I feel now that my place is out there instead of loafing away here the way I am.”
