Gallipoli Diary

Thursday 27/5/15
Very fine day nothing important ashore
At 6-30 am H.M.S Majestic was
torpedoed off Cape Hellas and sunk
page 74
in 45 minutes. Official detail not
yet to hand. We must admit that
the Germans have got a nasty one
on to us again. The modern
submarine seems to be the greatest
menance to the navy and these
events here the last day or two
show great daring & enterprise on
the part of the enemy. For about
twelve destroyers and other small
naval craft have been constantly
on the watch since we knew
of the submarines proximity.
Otherwise quiet day, several Greeks
surrendered & came in, they having
been acting with the Turkish forces
against us.
