The Road to Chunuk Bair

Our move to the Canal was carried out quietly and successfully. We picked up the rest of the Company at Khubri. There was the usual trouble in getting our kits and blankets to the same place as the men but everyone has now learnt to be philosophical at the temporary loss of or non arrival of kit or rations and we don’t worry. Shifting about is excellent training and a Company soon becomes perfectly mobile. We occupy 2500 yards of front north of Khubri Ferry on West Bank. For convenience of administration the Line is divided into A section 1&2 Platoons Capt Cameron, and B section 3&4 platoons Lieut. Cross. Our ground is very rough. High Banks and steep. There is much can be done to improve the trenches and communications.
