Gallipoli Diary

Monday May 10/15

Monday May 10/15

Last night passed with
the usual fitful bursts of rifle
fire & artillery but no change in
situation took place. The 87th & 88th
brigades of regulars were relieved by
Indian brigade & our N.Z. Inf. Bdg'e.
and they went out for a spell.

My brother George was severely
wounded Sunday morning in the
trenches & unfortunately it was not
possible to get him out to the rear
until this evening after dark. He was however given first aid &
cared for in the trenches as far as
possible. The poor boy does not even
recognise me. This evening and the
medical officer has grave fears for
his recovery. The bullet entered
the base of his neck and appears to
have injured the spinal column.
Everything possible is being done
for him by Capt Home at our
regimental unit post and I do hope
that he will rally sufficiently to
speak to me before going off to
the hospital ship.
