Chapter XXIV – ANZAC Beach
548 THE STORY OF ANZAC [Apr -May, 1915
Work continued under shrapnel exactly as if the Beach were Collins Street or Circular Quay. On April 27th, when the Turks were delivering their general attack on the trenches, shells burst over the Beach all day. But except during one period of thirty minutes, when work was ordered to cease, the unloading and issuing of supplies and the carrying of rations and ammunition by mule and hand to the hills went on without intermission. The shell fire on the Beach was exceptionally deadly. A high British artillery officer, fresh from the Western front, gave it as his opinion that it was “absolute madness” to disregard it in this manner, and eventually it was ordered that during spasms of shrapnel a whistle should be blown and work should cease. The signal was not greatly regarded. The sight of the beach-workers who did not desist, but who continued to perform their part of the day’s task under the whine of shells and the scatter of pellets, was a never-ending wonder to those who lived on the terraced hillside above them. A similar standard had been set in the front line, and only heavy trial or long strain ever broke it down. The attitude of complete indifference to all casual shell or rifle fire was simply the natural expression of the men’s self-respect. No one liked shell fire, but public opinion demanded that, whatever men felt, not by the flicker of an eyelid must they show it. This attitude cost many casualties, and had to be modified by order from higher quarters. But it never died out in the A.I.F. That careless, easy manner and apparent indifference to shell fire marked the Australians on every battlefield. More than one German officer, captured two years later on Broodseinde Ridge, was profoundly impressed by this quality. “What could we not do with such men!” said one of them to the British officer who interrogated him. The percentage of loss amongst Australian officers and men was high, but it is doubtful if in

the long run this attitude increased it, whereas its permanent effect upon their morale gave them a formidable fighting value which, during the last year of the war, told sensibly in favour of their side. Another result of the heavy fighting of the landing was that it fixed once and for all the relation of the Australian men to their officers. Until this first actual trial, there had lingered in most Australian battalions a vague resentment against the institution of officers.

Chapter XXIII – The Relief by the Marines
28th-30th Apr, 1915] RELIEF BY THE MARINES 535
A concentration area was fixed at the mouth of Shrapnel Gully and on the folds south of it, and to this for two days there straggled along the Beach or down various tracks from the hilltops individual men, men in twos and threes, men in platoons, with or without officers. Bearded, ragged at knees and elbows, their putties often left in the scrub, dull-eyed, many with blood on cheeks and clothes, and with a dirty field-dressing round arm or wrist, they were far fiercer than Turks to look upon. They had long since taken the wire hoops from their caps in order to break the obvious outline which too often had showed like a disc in the scrub. Many had learned to wear for camouflage a spray of holly over the peaks of their caps or in the bands of their battered and bullet-torn Australian hats. Officers were often indistinguishable from men; buttons were gone, and stars scored in indelible pencil on shoulder-straps became a recognised badge of an officer’s rank. The normally dapper Major Drake Brockman. sitting worn-out at the foot of Pope’s Hill, was accosted by a sergeant-major of the 13th Battalion as he rounded up a ration party. “Come on m’lad; we’re all tired, but we’ve got to get this water up the hill!” Many wandered in a half-sleep, like tired children. When that nurse of his men, Major Brand, gave the last worn-out party under Rafferty biscuits and cheese, cigarettes, and a tot of rum, the men, after beginning to eat, went to sleep with the food still in their hands Corporal Louch, of the 11th, when he stumbled into the trenches from the battle outposts, found a tin of water and then fell asleep. He waked, went down steep paths in the scrubby hillside to the Beach, collected some sticks, lit a fire, boiled a mess-tin of water for tea, and cleaned his rifle while the water was boiling. Then he tried the tea and found he did not want it. He started along the Beach to Hell Spit, dragging his rifle through the sand by its sling and trailing in the other hand the overcoat - either Clarke’s or that of some other man of the 3rd - which he had dragged with him from his pot-hole. His face, cut by a bullet, was caked with blood, and he had a four days’ beard. Some friend passing asked him where Clarke was. “Yes - he’s here,” he replied; and then realised that he had not seen him since reaching the trenches.
536 THE STORY OF ANZAC [25th-30th Apr., 1915
Many of these men came to the Beach as country men come to the city - to a great centre of wonderful sights of which they had heard the vague mention - a scene changed beyond all recognition since the wild rush from the landing place in the dawn. The packs which they had piled there were in many cases long since rifled or scattered, for the sentries guarding them had been rounded up on the first night and sent to the firing line. But men met friends and mates whom they had little thought to see again. Often each group had imagined itself to comprise all the survivors of the battalion. The concentration area was under intermittent shrapnel and sprayed with a desultory fire from unaimed or distant rifles. But they heeded all this less than the drops of a summer shower. All day the men swam, washed, mended their clothes, and gave one another the benefit of their experiences. The roll of each battalion was called. On the average it had entered the fight with thirty officers and 930 men.
Of the missing a proportion were afterwards found to have been sent away wounded without any record being kept. The rest were dead. Of 5,000 who were lost in the 1st Australian Division only one man was a prisoner.

27th-28th Apr., 1915] SECOND COUNTER-ATTACK 523
Majors Wagstaff and Blamey, of the Staff, gathered what men they could and hurried to the line with them. But they were not needed. The immediate supports of the firing line had been waiting all day close behind the crest of MacLaurin’s Hill, expecting every minute to make a bayonet charge. During the night these weary men were dragged out again and again to stand on the rear slope, their bayonets shining in the moonlight. Once a cheer was heard on the left. It was a local charge by some 200 of the 3rd Battalion and others for the purpose of clearing their front, but the nucleus of the 12th, now in the trenches near Wire Gully, thought this must surely be the great charge which was to meet the Turkish attack. They therefore left their trenches and ran forward a dozen paces. It was intensely dark ; no one could be seen ; and consequently they returned. But there was no sleep. Cries of “Stretcher-bearers on the left’’---“Another machine-gun man wanted”-“Turks massing on the right”- travelled constantly along the line. Margetts was found by a friend standing, one hand with his revolver resting on the parapet, his head on his arm, asleep. When daylight broke, it was evident that the Turkish attack was dead. Its only result had been that the Turkish snipers were again on Russell’s Top, and, as the light grew, the 12th had five men on the reverse slope hit within an hour by shots coming from the rear. These casualties were treated as trifles. The serious fact was that by Wednesday morning men and officers were reaching the limit of human endurance. Some of the steadiest could scarcely trust their eyes or decide whether the sights they saw were realities or creations of their imagination. The men were constantly looking for the appearance of British troops on Achi Baba and other heights to the south of them. At dusk on Tuesday Colonel Owen telegraphed to Bridges: “Men tired out and weak, but will do their best. Can I tell them that British will be up by morning to relieve pressure?” The reply was that he should tell them that fresh British troops were expected to arrive on the morrow.

26th-27th Apr. 1915 “ANZAC” AND HELLES
ANZAC to Amiens - Chapter VIII – “Anzac” and Helles
On the third day, April 27th, Mustafa Kemal, having been reinforced by two regiments, attempted a general counter-attack. But the warships’ guns caught the main attack as it tried to move down Baby 700 and scattered the Turks like ants on a disturbed anthill - after this experience never again until August did the Turks at Anzac attempt to move down slopes exposed to the warships’ guns. At Quinn’s and the posts south of it they were mown down by rifle fire; and on the right, where they again attacked by night, an Australian battery, which by then Lieut.-Colonel C. Rosenthal had managed to have dragged to the firing line, helped to sweep other assaulting lines away.
Along much of the front the garrison was not even aware it had been attacked.

About 2.30 a.m. those juniors or other outsiders who were awake round the headquarters of the 1st Australian Division noticed a certain stir. Either Bridges, who had been to Birdwood’s headquarters, had returned or some message from him had arrived. The voice of someone in the general’s dug-out was heard reading an order to be sent out to the troops upon the ridges: “Sir Ian Hamilton hoped that they would dig in, and that the morning would find them securely in their positions. . . .”

FIRST BOOK OF GOVERNMENT
Kevin is the shepherd I did not want.
He leadeth me beside the still factories.
He restoreth my faith in the Liberal party.
He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his party's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread line,
I shall fear no hunger for his bailouts are with me.
He has anointed my income with taxes,
My expenses runneth over.
Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of my life
And I will live in a rented home forever.
I am glad I am Australian,
I am glad that I am free.
But I wish I was a dog
and Kevin was a tree

Rudd upgrades Thailand travel advisory
The Rudd Government has upgraded its travel advisory for Thailand, in the wake of fresh clashes between anti government protestors and the military in the capital Bangkok.
In a revised travel advisory, DFAT recommends travellers 'exercise a high degree of caution because of the political instability in Thailand and the possibility of political demonstrations'.
