8. Today, September 28th
nothing unusual to report
today, just an ordinary day of
shelling bombing and sniping.

12. A Gallipoli nurse with a kitten mascot,
born in the trenches
Every night there are
two or three deaths,
sometimes five or six;
its just awful flying
from one ward into
another … each night
is a nightmare, the
patients’ faces all
look so pale with the
flickering ship’s
lights.
[Ella Tucker, in
Bassett, Guns and
Brooches, p.44]

13. Arrival of the first sisters on Lemnos
Island.

14. Australian sisters on board
the SS Mooltan

15. The 3rd Australian General Hospital (AGH) at Lemnos in its
completed state later in 1915.

16. Sick Australian nurses outside their
quarters on Lemmos.

17. The staff of the 3rd Australian General
Hospital (AGH) on Christmas Day, 1915.

18. Abdul had a gun that fired on ANZAC cove. We
called it Beechy Bill.

21. The ANZACS called
every Indian
“Johnny” and
treated him like a
brother, with the
consequences that
the Indians liked
them even more…
I often saw parties
of Australians and
New Zealanders
sitting in the lines,
eating chupatties
and talking to the
men.
Major HM
Alexander.

29. Bury the body ~ it has served it’s ends
Mark the spot but ‘On Gallipoli”.
Let it be said “He died”. Oh!
Hearts of friends
If I am worth it, keep my memory.

31. Some flower that blooms beside the
Southern foam
May blossom where our dead
Australians lie,
And comfort them with whispers of
their home:
And they will dream beneath the
alien sky
Of the Pacific Sea.
Lester Lawrence: ANZAC Poet
