To My Family,
I joined the war being told it was an adventure, we were going across the country to do duties to Australia. We would be with all our mates, having fun. We bought volleyball nets thinking we were going to be having a good time on the beach. But we were wrong. The second we got close to the shore of Gallipoli we were being fired at with guns, we could hear men screaming and loud footsteps. I witnessed men getting shot down before even getting off the ship, the ocean water was full of blood and was
thick like syrup. This was nothing like we were told, I want to go home.
