2nd Battalion Unit History - 2 May 1915
The first day of May found the battalion
still recouperating in the beach with reorganisation completed, but a
summons of the staff to brigade indicated an early move, and this took
place at 8 a.m. on the following day, when the Second moved up Victoria
Gully to a position in support of the R.M.L.I. Late that evening
further orders sent A Coy. Under Dignam and B Coy. Under Pain into the
line at the head of the gully, with three casualties during the move.
