A Letter from Gallipoli

  A Letter from Gallipoli 27/April/1918

Dear,dad

Here in gallipoli it’s very humid and it stinks! Out here on the other side of the world it’s terrible, we have to dig trenches about 3 feet. In gallipoli there’s loud noises BOOM that’s how loud the gunshots are, you’ll get used to it. Thousands of people are getting killed and wounded, there’s a lot of shocks and it feels uncomfortable. We all worry about our health, the food looks like it’s stale and it tasted horrible. The shrapnel scattered everywhere it nearly got me but I was lucky,it missed. I had to carry water all the way up the hill, it was tiring. I loved the ANZAC biscuits you sent to we but there so hard to eat I made it into porridge. We have to have a lot of ammunition. Our enemies are having dysentery, there getting weaker. The fight is ended, I enjoy eating the porridge.  

Lots of Love, Arhan
