ANZAC Day

25th April 1915 SPLASH ! SPLASH ! Troops trudging through the water...

 "Holy heck barbed wire! They knew we were coming."

It started then and there. In a couple of seconds all you could hear was gun fire. We  didn't know how many men died that day but it was around five - six hundred New Zealand men.    26th April 1915 by now we had Dug Trenches, but under all the gun fire it was very hard to get to sleep, we got used to it eventually, but we were all afraid of dying and not living to the end of the day. Days of terrible fighting  went past, hundreds of New Zealand soilders died and many deaths and injurys had a occurred.  Finally we started evacuating and then we were on ships back to New Zealand.

We commemorate ANZAC Day  for all the suffering and deaths.
