Cape Helles.

Submitted,
Enclosed I send detailed list of escorting vessels and the quantities of Fresh Meat desired twice weekly.
If these quantities could be sent down by a Drifter leaving Chanak – each quantity labelled – I would see they were at once delivered to each vessel.
At present Trawler “Farraday” is at Mudros but all other vessels are escorting.
Fresh vegetables – such as potatoes would be welcome when available.
One basket (140 lbs) would last a Drifter a fortnight & a Trawler approximately 9 days.
