Wednesday Apr 21st/15
HMT “ITONUS” LEMNOS
miserable day. wet & windy
Inspection parade 9 am of
troops in shore going order.
Each man carries an oil sheet
on his pack & this is all he
will have to sleep on for a
time when ashore as no
blankets can be carried at present
page 36
Each man is also carrying
ashore a few sticks of boxwood
in his gear as firewood will be
very scarce. We have also
saved all our biscuit tins
for water receptacles to be
filled from the ships until
we establish ourselves and
obtain other supplies.
