Description: | Ts account (3pp) of the landing of the 1st Division of the Australian Imperial Forces at Anzac, Gallipoli, on 25 April 1915. This personal experience account, which from internal evidence was written by a soldier in the 11th Battalion AIF (3rd Brigade), describes in vivid detail their disembarkation from the battleship HMS LONDON and the subsequent bitter fighting on the Anzac beachhead. Of particular interest is the description of the death of Captain Annear, the first Australian officer to be killed at Gallipoli. Together with a photograph of men and stores, presumably taken at Anzac ca 1915.
