Gallipoli Comments

Impossible to comprehend it all, Gallipoli, other horrors of war... This drips with regret as well. 'you will die with a whimsical sound'... makes me shake.

The voice of the devil? Well, Lucifer, its war itself I condemn, not soldiers. Caustic work, Herbs. Love, Gina.

Over forty years ago I worked with a man who was a little older than I am now. He was short, slight and balding. He had been in the Royal Marines at Gallipoli in 1915 and he told me how they made improvised grenades out of jam tins. He was such an ordinary man and he told such extraordinary stories. What a blessing that I and my generation have not had to endure that.
