Gallipoli Diary

Saturday Apr 3rd 1915

Saturday Apr 3rd 1915

Resumed seat on D.C.M.
9 am to 11-30 am when court
adjourned pro. tem. Cairo
placed “out of bounds” for
troops from 2 p.m. on account
of last night's disturbance.

I visited town on duty from
2 to 5 pm. Also on duty
as Captain of the day in camp.

Maoris received orders
to depart “somewhere” on Monday
Also Ceylon Coy. leave
our lines and take up
duties as Corps unit.

Sir H. McMahon (High Com)
& Gen. Sir J Maxwell officially page 20 visited the Maori contingent
this afternoon when Capt. Buck
addressed them & the inspecting
officers spoke briefly. The
Maoris gave a haka which
seemed to amuse & impress
the spectators. The natives
really look very smart on
parade and march well
but training for war is
very different and I don't
expect they will see active
service.
