Note on the second line from the bottom the 'Casualty Form Active Service' notes Athol's promotion on 26 May 1915 from 2nd Lt to 1st Lieutenant.
There is some confusion here. Another document (5th Battalion unit diary, written at Anzac Cove) has the promotion dated 21 June 1915 which better co-incides with Athol's letters informing his mother of the promotion.
