The Road to Chunuk Bair

The Battalion paraded at 7 a.m. and with the Brigade marched out about 6 miles to take part in a Brigade attack. Our Brigade was opposed by the 4^th Australian Infantry Brigade and an interesting days training resulted. Our Regiment was in the advance guard and got into action very early. We were able to hold our own and did not come in for any adverse criticism from the umpires. The day was most oppressively hot and dusty. What wind there was came from the South in fiery breaths, which created the most intense thirst. We were all delighted to return to camp and get wet inside and out.
