Extract of letter by Colonel H E Elliott to Cr Henderson

My groom, an Essendon lad named Powell, who was left behind in Egypt to look after my horses, was very anxious to get to the front, and left without permission to join the regiment. However, he had no luck, and was arrested at Mudros, and sent back to his post.
