Ww1 diary


22 january 1915


Dear diary 


Still training, going to war soon.

 The stench of sweat is gathering around me.

 It feels like I'm drowning in it.

 I'm doing gun practice right now and I have found a quiet spot .

 so many  people dripping in sweat  haven't drunk in ages.

I'm getting worried thinking about  my family every day.

Dear diary 


Just got on the boat going to Gallipoli.

 I hope it is not a bullet rain.

I hope I'm not going to get shot by shrapnel.

I hope i'm not going to get shot by cannons but it will still be chaotic.

I found some badges on the ship.

Some soldiers have lost arms, some have lost legs.

Dear diary 



Today has been a tough day.

 I have lost my friend Bobby.

 He got shot by 6 cannons  along with 34 other people .

It is sad because I am just seeing all my friends dropping around me.

I think I'm dying, my stomach is killing me, I have got my badges for fighting.

 I'm going to be  ported back to nz . 

I am on the ship to NZ.

 I miss my family like my son jack. 

I am back in nz you can not imagine  my pain from my stomach

Dear diary 


Soon it will be christmas time so i am pretty excited.

I think I might have to go back to the battle grounds.

I am not wounded any more so I might have to go back to the battle fields.

I do not want to go back but my friend that have been shot  are.

I will not write until it ends.
