Shrapnel Valley, Gallipoli 26 April 1915 Today my heart is broken.  My best friend passed away.  It is so sad because he was so funny and made me laugh all the time.  His name was James. When soldiers get wounded me and Duffy go up the steep hill and find them and bring them down to the beach.  Then they go on the boat to Lemnos Island if they are badly hurt but sadly some of them die on the way there. The smell of blood is ground into my uniform.  There are heaps of flies round my head.  I can hear them buzzing and it is getting really annoying.  When I am near the hospital I can hear moaning and groaning. I wish I was at home with my cat Sandy, stroking her warm fur safe in my cozy house. By Jordyn
