Dear Mick
I sent in this mornings letter to Kilid Bahr & hope the best.
This afternoon I walked over to Anzac Beach with young Lieut. Balfour, Capt. Bean's offsider, a very nice chap & on the way we came across the remains of what must have been just about the quickest attack on Lone Pine that ever was;

at one spot the relics lie close up against Jacko's forward line, but so close together that one cannot understand the onward rush.

Tomorrow the 15th we cover the the most interesting ground on block the day after I cut loose & choose my subject
