Reinforcement for
C. C. Station
The Australian C.C. Station at 
Anzac Beach has at present a full
staff of officers but only 49 other ranks
Owing to the strain of 16 weeks continuous 
work many of the men are
knocking up. We have received small
reinforcements but in many cases
these are being kept back by other
Hosp. units in Eg & Mudros
There is also great delay in convalescent  
patients returning. Can steps be
taken to bring us up to strength?
The O's C Nos 13 & 16 CCS
have applied for various of personnel.
No 13 with   8 of.  & 65 other Ranks

No 16 wants  2    "     10     "          "
Considering that all those men
are fresh they should be able 
to cope with the work if brought
up to strength.

Lt. Colonel Giblin
O.C. Aust: Cas: Cl: Station
Anzac.
During present operations. I trust you will
still control the evacuation at Anzac &
Anzac North. from Aust. C.C. Station & from
13 & 16. C.C. Stations.
I have not the power to make you an A.D.M.S.
which I would gladly do, but I trust that
I can get the G.O.C. Med. Force to do so.
& give you a step in rank at the same.
This will take some time however.
I trust all goes well at Anzac. There is
considerable congestion on L. of C. & I hope.
that slight cases of wounds & sickness,
if practicable, will remain at Main
Dressing Stations of Fd. Ambces or at
C.C. Stations where there is room for them.

Imbros.
I beg to acknowledge your
letter of 15th inst.
I am however at a loss
to understand my present position.
You instruct me to control the
evacuation operations of the three
C.C. Stations and to act for you
but unless I am appointed A.D.M.S.
Anzac my position is an anomalous
one.
Colonel Keble instructed me
that I would be A.D.M.S. and entitled
to the step in rank that that
position carries, otherwise I would
not have accepted the extra
responsibilities.
If I am not to hold
such appointment I would
ask to be relieved of this duty

The O.C. No 16 C.C.S. has 
requested that he be allotted 100
men as stretcher bearers for purpose
of carrying wounded from No 2 Outpost
to Walkers Beach the place of evacuation
at present used by No 16, on account 
of their own jetty being subjected
to sniping.
The distance between these 
stations is about one mile. During
the day stretchers have to be carried
through the sap and at night by
road joining the two stations.
It would only be during
times of heavy work that this extra
help would be required.
Col Keble when here recommended 
that four motor ambulances 
be sent to carry out this work.
I think this would be satisfactory.
