Trained to Alexandria (100 of us), Lieut Arrell in command. Boarded
Derflinger. Heard Wiltshire torpedoed (2500 on board) (incorrect).
Had a few hours in Alexandria, dined at French buffet. Oysters at 2 piastres a plate.
Notes (The Derflinger was a captured German passenger ship, used as a troop
ship to carry wounded from Gallipoli to Alexandria and then troops back
to the peninsula.
