May 25, 1915

Arrived at Island of Lemnos about 2500 on board - of different units. Heard Jack Dalgiesh wounded in shoulder. Fine harbour here - over 60 steamers, 12 warships. Heard Triump torpedoed. Australians took Big Hill.


(The island of Lemnos was held by Greece, which was technically neutral. However, Allied troops occupied the island and used it to prepare for the April campaign and many returned during the following months. )
