No. 3 from Gallipoli
From the "Trenches"in[censored: Gallipoli]15-9-15
Dear Dad Mum & All
Disembarked at "ANZAC" on the 4th September.
The zip, zip, zip if the bullets overhead and the occassional boom of the big guns, seemed, contrary to general belief, to hold no terrors, nor did it seem even to herald that other phase in this great game to which we have so anxiously looked.
As soldiers, few of us, even now that we are actually in the firing line seem to realize that we have arrived at our Mecca – of course we will when we get a "Charge". Our particular part of the line is a part known as "Lone Pine" and the trenches are at some parts only a few yards from the enemy.
