Great Aus. Bight
Thursday October 22 1914
Well we never called into Adelaide but are going straight to Albany. It is still as calm as ever, you might travel
it a hundred times but not strike it so calm. The Gunners do Swedish drill of a morning and
I join in at times when I get the chance. I am on sick and defaulters orderly. Have one defaulter and he gets 3 hours
scrubbing in the labotarys from 6 till 9 p.m. I am trying to learn a bit of French. I have a interpreter. I still have a slight touch of cold will do my
best to get rid of it at Albany
if we stop.
