Gallipoli Diary

Monday Dec 7th

Monday Dec 7th

Day was occupied in
pitching camp and
settling down. As far
as one can see looking
to the East (away from
the city) there is nothing
but desert. This is our
training area. The ground
is a gravelly sand just
loose enough to make
walking heavy going &
not a vestige of growth
to be seen. A large force
of English Territorials are
camped close to us and page 48 have been here nearly three
months. They expect to go to
the front any time now.

They are Manchester & East
Lancashire Regt's. Infantry &
artillery.
