The Road to Chunuk Bair

An early start was made with packing up. As cooking utensils were required at 7.30 a.m. breakfast also had to be an early affair. The Company moved off at a quarter to nine arriving at Campimento Station about nine oclock. After a wait of 2 hours we entrained about 11 oclock. The other companies Ruahine and Hawkes Bay getting away at 9.30. We arrived at Helmieh Platform at 5.30 and were soon marching back to our old quarters at Zeitoun. Our tents were ready when we reached Camp and our reinforcements helped us with our baggage. The transport of the Australian Infantry Brigade came down to the station and soon shifted our kits and baggage into camp for us.
