Early in the sinner of 1910 1 was askeu to take 50 to 100 Anzacs for instruction at a Lewis gun school; writes Brigardier General Baker-Car in form “Obaffeur to Brigadier,” which is just published’ It was hinted that a refusal would not be misunderstood. Though fine fighters, the Australians were liot always the most tractable in the back areas. They forcibly released their comrades at Etaples, and burned down a guard room. I told the first Australian squad that the whole lot would be returned straight away if a single complaint were made about them. It was the first of many Australian classes, and there was not a single complaint.” Baker-Carr relates that when the Australians visited Paris Place, they dropped from the bridge into the river, two military policemen who were demanding a special pass to cross, which the troopers did not possess.
