Gallipoli Diary

Sunday Apr 11/15

page 25

Sunday Apr 11/15

Beautiful day at sea.
“Itonus” is a very trim craft
of the British India S.N. Coy
and is splendidly fitted for
carrying troops. We have
1100 on board & no horses &
only about 12 mules. We are
only doing 8 to 9 knots on
account of the barges towing
behind — several having been
lost from other ships. Held
service this morning. Major
Brunt conducted Presbyterian
& Major Brereton of Canterbury
took Anglician, there being
no chaplains on board.

Weather is appreciably cooler
than in Egypt and very
agreeable. Received maps of
Gallipoli peninsula today
so will land there somewhere.
