Diary entry 1 October 1914 I am sailing away to Gallipoli where I will fight for my country. I think there are more than two thousand soldiers with me on my boat, it’s very noisy and it smells really bad! It is my chance to see the world and shoot some Turks, explore Gallipoli and the Dardanelles.

Diary entry 2 25th April 1915 We have entered Gallipoli and the order was given ‘everyone overboard’ I jumped off the boat with my backpack and gun thinking about where I will land and will it be cold? I can smell burning shells as we were shot at by the Turks, as we swim toward shore I wonder how many of my allies died and even if I would survive. Diary entry 3 June 2nd 1915 I am on trench duty today we are under heavy fire Diary entry 4 June 3rd 1915 A few of my allies have gone down from snipers and grenades and we are now travelling uphill
