A letter from Gallipoli

27 April 1918
Dear Helena,
I hope you are having a joyful time at home with mum and dad and your not missing me too much. If you are thinking how I’m doing, I’m not having a great time here instead, I’m having a rough time here in Gallipoli. Thanks for the Anzac biscuits you’ve sent. They melted in my mouth like magma. Though a variety of people are getting dysentery but thankfully, I haven't got it yet. It's uncomfortable in the trenches especially at night. Rifles and bullets never stop pounding towards us plus millions of citizens have had narrow escapes. Overall , it's been a fine ride so far.
