Sam's Gallipoli Diary (transcribed by NSW AJEX)
Tuesday 11th May
My birthday passed quietly. Went into the firing line at 7 am out at 1 pm. In again at 7pm and came out at 7 am. Very miserable owing to the continual rain. Turks are very busy and keep us on the alert.
Monday 17th May
Enemy keeps up heavy gun fire and the aim is very accurate. Mate of mine shot through the heart whilst asleep. We begin to undermine the enemy’s trenches. Shell explodes in our trench, killing or seriously wounding Captain Hill.
Sunday 23rd May
Working night and day. Am feeling very fatigued. Had narrow escape of being shot clean through the head but bullet strikes a sandbag immediately in front of me. Turks rather quiet.
