Pte John Henry Llewellyn Turnbull, an engine driver from Geelong, wrote six diaries over his four years of service with the 5th Divisional Ammunition Column on the western front during the first world war.
In his final diary, Turnbull records that on 11 November 1918 he and his battalion were marching to their next destination in France when they stopped on the road for their midday meal.
