    The Red Cross

    In early July, a British Red Cross store opened near the Australian Pier in East Mudros. It provided supplies to wounded soldiers.

    ‘You have no idea what a comfort it is for them to have the useful and lovely things you are making ... The poor patients come in tired and ready to sleep for a week, and to be able to get into a nice clean bed with a nice suit of pyjamas is a luxury no one can imagine who has not been here.’

    – Lieutenant Colonel W.H. Bryant, Mercury (Hobart), 24 Sept. 1915
