Mines had been placed in the galleries that knew the men of the 28th at the Apex and Russell's Top. At 3.45 a.m. these were exploded with great effect. The Turk was silent for a moment or two, and then opened a tremendous but harmless fire all along the line. At 4.30 a.m. a fascinating display was afforded those now on the boats when smaller mines were discharged and fires broke out at different points on the beaches amongst the stores that it had been impossible to bring away. The Machine Gun Section, as a parting gift to their friends the enemy, had laid a table and set thereon porridge and cocoa ready for the first who came into the evacuated trenches. The names of the 28th men who took part in the final phase of the evacuation are as follows:-- Lieut. G. D. Shaw. Sergt. G. Moore (wounded). Private J. Adams. Private C. G. Graham. Sergt. F. H. Waddingham. Lance-Corpl. M. F. Newnes. Private M. M. Fitzpatrick. Private H. W. Greenwood (wounded). Private A. Harris (1st Rft.). Private W. A. Johnstone. Private E. Morrow (1st Rft., killed). Private G. B. Neilson. Private T. W. Spencer (1st Rft.). Private H. K. de W. Harvey. Private C. McKail. Private N. A. Munro (killed). Private E. S. Smart (1st Rft.). CHAPTER X. LEMNOS ISLAND. The crowded "Osmanieh" left the anchorage opposite Anzac early in the morning of the 13th December. Removed, for the time being, from the everlasting noise and risk of battle, feeling also that the morrow would bring real rest and a life of comparative ease, the troops slept well in spite of their uncomfortable surroundings. After daylight the transport entered Mudros Bay and before noon the disembarkation had been carried out at a pier near the northern end of Port Mudros. The Battalion formed up and then moved off by a military road, made by Turkish prisoners of war, which ran through the lines of the 2nd Australian Stationary Hospital, the 3rd Australian General Hospital, and a Canadian General Hospital, all of which were accommodated in marquees. The staffs, and some of the patients, of these establishments stood by the roadside as the new arrivals passed. Many friends and acquaintances were recognised and the C.O. of the 2nd Stationary Hospital (Major G. W. Barber) invited the officers of the Battalion staff to a dinner, to be held the following evening, to mark the first anniversary of the medical unit's departure from Australia.
