Dear Ock,
Thank you for your letter, I’ve been a lazy boy for not writing but I am getting along all right. We get night work every evening and don’t get as much time off as we used to.
We will do all our own signalling when we are at sea. The military men don’t man the ship, ordinary seamen do that part but the signalling is taken over by us.
Sail any day now the boat we are going on is in Sydney. Came in this morning. We are going to England we think our address was given out as No 39 N.O. L Hull 18 Batt. 13th? Inf Brigade A.I.F. England but it may be changed so I will let you all know.
Best love to all, Stid
