Allsop Diary

ReadAboutContentsHelp
Five diaries of W.J.A. Allsop that cover the period 1915-1917 were purchased by the Mitchell Library in 1920. In August 2012, Geraldine Walsh spoke to Allsop's son John, who shared this diary with the 'Doing our bit, Mosman 1914-1918' project.

Mrs. S. Shillings 42 Lawson St. Hamilton Newcastle.

1390 Act. [Naick] Tikakham No. 1 Mountain Battery HK,SBRGA Indian Exp. Force Egypt.

31st December First Aid work and Stretcher drill. From then I was patient. Chaps upset the stretcher & dragged me along the sand. News that we return to the Base on Sunday. Dugging holes for tent bags to hold [Water] as supply of [Illegible] is running short. Shows lack of organisation. One of two 400 gall. tanks would do admirably. Year ended quietly.
