Yesterday I saw in the list among those killed the name of John Fielder, 2nd Lieutenant, Seaforth Highlanders. He took part in the Sydenham pageant of last July, & was a friend of Guy Newman. Only 19 & the only son.

Our troops have had some success in the Dardanelles. There will be heavy fighting out there.

An appeal has been made for doctors to go out to the east. Rob Worthington & one or 2 others here are debating if they ought to go, & yet what is to be done in England if the best go. Even in our own small hospital one sees what wonderful things are done & how the men get the use of their limbs back. Only clever surgeons could do what has been done.
