Today is Anzac Day and all the boys who are able are going. There will be a service in Westminster Abbey and a matinee in the afternoon. whn Mr Hughes will speak. I hope to see the procession but some of the sisters are going to both. General Birdwood was down there yesterday. He is a great favourite with the boys. Love to all, L K B."
