- The Leader publishes the 50th casualty list which lists Lce Cpl S. Dean (Orange) as wounded. This is presumably Stanley Thomas Deans, a signaller who was at Quinn’s Post on the morning of 29 May when a mine exploded nearby.

Men and women of Orange, your husbands, sons and brothers are calling you from the ravines of Gallipoli Peninsula. If you cannot send reinforcements to relieve them give of your money, so that when they arrive home, bleeding and wounded, they may see how grateful their country has been to them.
