Description

Account relating to the First World War service of 415 Private Arthur James Rouget, 13th Light Horse Regiment and Australian Veterinary Hospital, 1915-1919.

This notebook contains an account by Arthur James Rouget encompassing his embarkation from Melbourne on 28 May 1915 through to news of the Armistice on 11 November 1918. The account is largely comprised of concise paragraphs that cover his main activities and more notable observations with the 13th Light Horse Regiment and Australian Veterinary Hospital. Rouget outlines his voyage to Egypt, training at camps near Cairo and service at Gallipoli, but devotes much of the account to his service on the Western Front in France and Belgium.

The notebook also includes names and addresses, brief notes, dates, and instructions for developing photographic film.
