laying killed & wounded by this time night was coming on & I was detailed off to go & carry water & amunion up to our line I can tell you it was a long carry from the Beach six of us set out with a load each but only two of us arrived as the others were all wounded. I thought it was the longest night I ever put in there were wounded & killed laying every where
Well we are now in a place called Browns Dip it somewhere about a week since we landed things have quait quitened down a bit since then. Diary writing has been out of the question as any spare moments one was very glad to get a little sleep. We have got fairly good trenches dug & we are all busy making ourselves dug outs. During the last week I have been detailed off as a stretcher bearer to my Coy. B Company. as all the old bearers have been killed or wounded. I might say I lost my tobacco in the landing & I havent had a smoke for over a week what would I give for one. any thing. but again I would give more for some steak & onions
