Re-inforcements 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
re-inforcements but in many cases
these are being kept back by other
Hospital units in Egypt & Mudros.
There is also great delay in convalescent 
patients returning. Can steps be taken
to bring us up to strength?
The O.'s C. No 13 & No 16 C.C.S. have
applied for increase of personnel.
*4* No 13 with 8 officers & 65 other ranks
            asks for 3 officers & 30    "        "
No 16 wants      2      "        & 10    "        "
Considering that all their men are
fresh they should be able to cope with
their work if brought up to strength.

I recommend that 60 Marquee
Tent and 24 Bell Tents be sent
to Anzac at once.
The weather may at any time
now break up and we may be
unable to evacuate wounded & sick
for several days. There are places
here where tents could be erected
but the safety of doing so would
depend on the military situation at
the time. I think they should be
available on the spot so as to be
used at once if required.
The number named would allow
20 marquee tents & 8 bell tents to each
of the C.C. Stations here.
The tent equipment of the
Australian C.C. Station is in need
use by the 2nd Aust. Stationary Hosp
Mudros, but Colonel Keble informed 
me that there were other tents
available.

The area required by Aust Casualty
Clearing Station for erection of necessary working
shelters would be 120 ft by 15 ft. It need not
necessarily be in one long block
It is also necessary to allot areas
for the erection of sheds or shelters capable of
holding 200 patients in event of severe
weather preventing evacuation each
shed would require to be 56 ft by 8 ft & seven
of such would be needed.
I would suggest that the C.C.S.
be placed in such a position as to be protected
from the weather by stacks of A.S. stores
