Writing from Palestine to Mrs J. M. Donnes, our distinguished soldier, Squad Sergt. Major H. M. Macnee says, ‘ We are out of the eternal sand at last, into nice green country, with plenty of crops and pasture, Charlie Karnaghan has just got a commission in one of the camel corps. Capt. Jim Tolmer is in hospital. By the look of things it will be some time before we are back in W.A. Andy Ferguson had an interesting letter from Broome; they have evidently forgotten the war there. I have not heard from Broome for a long time. My address- No. 313, S.S.M. Macnee, H.M. B Brigade, 10th regiment, Abroad.North West Echo, 9th December 1917
