Charles E W Bean, Diaries, AWM38 3DRL 606/116A/1 - September 1918 - Part 3

know what the generals
would do - I want you to
send it along to Murdoch
& get him to make all he
can of it" (he gave me the
speech in the morning tho'
he was not delivering it till
/ evening, in order tt
it might get into / Australian
Press first from Murdoch & me,
& tt / Generals shd not have
time to cable out defeating
it (I don't thank he need
have feared this).)
He went on to speak
of the rest due to the Corps.
"I am determined tt they
shall have it - I will not
 

leave England until they
get it, even if it means
my staying on here, " he sd.
"I know said to Wilson -
Sir Henry Wilson - 'look here,
if you want to have these troops
to use in the Spring - &
I suppose you do for that is
the way to use them - you
will have to take them
out of the line for the
winter. If you go on
keeping them where they
are there will not be
any left fit for the work."
Wilson said that
he thought it was very
possible that it might
be arranged if Hughes
 

would see w Haig.
"You see him when
you're over in France,"
he said, "you know
the considerations that
come into it - it might
not be fair to the 
British troops" - Wilson
either said this, or
said it was suggested by
others.
"I'm not going to see
Haig," Hughes said -
"I am ^not going to ask
Haig. If the Belgians
want their troops out of
the line, they dont ask
leave - if the Canadians
want their divisions
 

to be rested they dont
send and consult G.H.Q.
- they say that it must
be done, & it is done.
I am not going to
leave England until
the Australian Corps
comes out of the line.
And if it doesn't come
out, then I shant leave
England - that's all."

Sept 26. Saw Freddy Cutlack
yesterday - looking very
pulled down after his
time in hospital and all
his operations. He has to
go under another operation
 

tomorrow to have the plate
taken out of his arm.
He has been busying
himself writing an
account of the work
of the Five Divisions this
year - he thinks the Aust.
people ought to know it
& I agree.
He & his sister came
to the theatre with me last
night. She had just been organising
a womens union at a
munition factory &
facing the angry manager
& small boys throwing
mud.
