Sunday 20th February 1916

Corps Reserve at Steenbecque

The weather remained good and training continued.
Trooper Claude Darwin, (see 18th February) serving at Heliopolis in Egypt, with 5th Australian Army Service Corps was transferred from the local Field Ambulance Unit to hospital, suffering from mumps. He was the brother of Tunstill recruit, Pte. Tom Darwin, who was currently being treated for ‘debility’ whilst serving with 10DWR (see 14th February).


Pte. John Sheridan was posted to France and would join 10DWR; in the absence of a more complete surviving service record I am unable to make a positive identification of this man.
