—————Sunday————-
Left Isle of Lymnos at 9.30AM. The
Cruisers Majestic & Triumph. Actually
heard first guns in action.
The 1st forces of the AIF landed
in small boats & a most fright-
ful bayonet charge into Machine
guns & lines of Turks all
along the beach. Heroic
work took place here. This attack
kept on. An advance is made
over the cliff in bayonet charge
The Turks curved back after
killing & putting out of
action hundreds & hundreds
of men, if not thousands.
All the afternoon & evening wounded
are coming on board our boat.
We have no room ourselves.
Wounded men in all the troopdecks
1500 all told. Hosp. boat full & dozens
of others (troopships) Firing continues
all the night on the hills. Reports
coming over Wholesale Murder.

Thanks for this. Was really insightful.
