Old Letter from 1915 (Paulie's Favourite Edition)

Dear Mum,

I have landed into Gallipoli into WAR.  The ship is from New Zealand to Gallipoli. I didn’t feel seasick.
The Turkish Soldiers were SHOOTING it sounded like in a DEATH NIGHTMARE!
I haven’t done any wrong. I don’t want to die.
I crouch down in the trench now I am not frightened and the trenches smell like SMOKE and DUST.
I am looking forward to coming home and I am missing you all and the meals you cook at home.


-         LOVE Paulie.
