1st January 1915

Sailing on board the “Ulysses” 10 days

from sunny Victoria, for a destinat-

ion, which can only be known on

the rear pages of this diary.

Left Albany 2 days ago after a very

smooth passage from Melbourne.

Food very good but slightly “moorish”.

Troops made voluntary parade

to the cookhouse demanding

more. Things seemed as though

they threatened mutiny for

a while, but after an explanat-

ion by our Major, meals were

dished up by our mess orderly

in somewhat similar style

as we get at Home Sweet Home
