Gallipoli Diary

Tuesday May 11/15 Batt HQ at WHITE HUT

Tuesday May 11/15 Batt HQ at WHITE HUT

WSW of KRITHIA. Several feeble attacks
preceded by shrapnel, by Turks on our
front; were easily held off during night.

Day broke fine again and nothing
out of ordinary occurred in firing line.
1 pm preliminary orders advised us of
the proposed relief of NZ brigade.
Afternoon very quiet in fire trenches.

Indian Brigade HQ (General Cox)
removed from White Hut up [gap — reason: illegible] page 55 8 pm the relief of NZ Bgde began
by 7th batt, Manchester regt. Owing
to difficuly of movement to & from
trenches and this having to be
done under cover of darkness the
change was not completed until
midnight. NZ troops (with exception
of some who did not get to the
rendezvous until early morning) then
moved back to previous bivouac
near stone bridge on Krithia road.
