My Own Dear Sister,
Just a line to let you that I got bowled over with shrapnel. I got 5 wounds.
1 very bad one. The 1 in the arm and the 1 in the shoulder are nothing. The
1 through the foot and 1 through the privates are not so bad, but I got a
brute through the hip. I have been operated on twice and I think they have
all the lead out of me now. I am suffering awful agony and can't move an
inch. I have a gash about 6 ins long and 3 ins deep in my hip. I expect to
be on my back about three months. I haven't had a meal for over 3 weeks,
only a glass of milk and just this past day a cup of tea and a little piece
of bread and butter in the morning. We have English Sisters, Indian and
French Orderlies, and an English and a French Doctor, and Indian surgeons so
it is hard to make anyone understand you.
How are you enjoying yourself? It is even hard work writing letters when you
are in pain all the time. I am propped in an awful position now so as the
wound in my hip will drain. I have got the lump of shrapnel out of my hip
tied up in my handkerchief. We have a lot of french wounded here. This is an
I Indian Hospital. All the nurses have been years in India. Was there any
casualty list sent to Australia or did they send word home ? I hope poor old
Hannah is better now.
It was hard luck for her , poor old kid . How is Stan getting on at his job?
I hope you are both enjoying the best of health. I have written to Maude and
Mother but I forgot to tell them where I was hit, so you can tell them when
you write. I suppose it will take about 31/2 weeks for this letter to reach
you. Don't forget to write to me here as I will be here for 3 or 4 months.
Your Loving Brother Herb Daws.
