Our letter
ANZAC Day
Letter:
Dear parents,
We have just landed on the shores of Gallipoli. The men have stormed the shores and I am in the second wave of men to assault the shore. Many men have fallen and more still are wounded. The cliff we are attacking is full of enemies and guns. The beach is white… well it was. Now it is stained red with the blood of fallen troops. Even the clear inviting water has a red tinge now. The sounds are deafening, which is funny because were in the middle of the war. It’s so scary but its me or the country that goes. Your loving Sons,
