11th June 1918

Announcement Date: 11/06/1918

“We are not allowed to say what part of Egypt we are in, so you can speculate in your own mind as to where we might be; we are a good way from any firing line here, though we see a number of prisoners coming through. There are a lot of Australian troops with us in camp, they came in a week after we did.  We have aeroplanes flying over our heads daily, sometimes they dive down quite close to us & one or two of them have met with accidents.”
