Gallipoli Diary

Wednesday May 12/15

Wednesday May 12/15

Stragglers & detached parties
continued to arrive in bivouac
until 9 am. from rear of firing line.
All were then free to construct
“dug outs” (as we are still within
big gun range) and to rest before
proceeding to muster & check rolls.

Rain fell heavily from about
midnight & continues today making
bivouac & surroundings a real
quagmire. However this is the
first rain worth mentioning since
we landed here and the ground [unclear: is]
being sandy will soon dry again.
No trace of Capt Morton since
the action at KABA TEPE being page 56 found he is [gap — reason: illegible] missing and I
have very grave fears for his safety.
George was sent to hospital ship
and I cannot get any news of his
progress.
