Notes

  • Author's note: The following collection of "Poems" was written by me during operations in the Dardenelles, throughout the whole of which I took part.
    They were written in my Dug-out during lulls in the fighting, and are correct in detail and a truthful and unexaggerated account of the actual happenings.
    In response to the wishes of many of my comrades I am hoping to successfully publish them in Book form, as a souvenir of the immortal "Anzacs." (p.[3])
