Dear Baz,

 

Your letter No. 1020 of the 11th May to hand. In

connection with the Staff of the 2nd Anzac for April 1916,

I am forwarding herewith three lists as under :-

          Staff of 2nd Anzac 1st March 1916.

          Staff of 1st Anzac 1st March 1916.

          Staff of 2nd Anzac 10th May 1916.

These lists have been extracted from Official

publications published by G.H.Q. Egypt, showing the

composition of the Headquarters of the M.E.P., British Forces

in Egypt, and British Forces in Salonika. I regret that no

list of the Staff of 2nd Anzac is held for April 1916 at the

Historical Section, and it is thought that none was issued for

that month. I should think, however, that it would be

unlikely to vary from that shown on the list of the 10th May.

I have forwarded the March lists as these might help you by

comparing with the May list and other records, to determine

the composition of the Staff in April. The regiments of the 

Staff Officers given in the lists.

Yours sincerely,

(signed) TKHeyes

Dear Bay

I was glad to get your note.

All the family are well. Thoroughly

enjoyed a day at each of the

Australian & Country matches

in London and looking forward 

to the Second Test at Lords.

Hope Peter Wendy Mrs B are 

in the pink.

Let me know if there is anything

I can do for you over here.

Are you playing cricket in Sydney?

Best wishes

Yours sincerely

H.
