Description: | Photocopy of a short ms memoir (26pp) recording his part in the Suvla Bay landing while serving in the 67th Field Company RE at Gallipoli, 6 - 9 August 1915, providing a descriptive account of his embarkation in the destroyer HMS GRASSHOPPER, the heavy fighting he witnessed from the ship when passing Anzac Cove and his dangerous landing on the beach of Suvla Bay also outlining his movements during the attempt to advance and the duties he carried out; including digging trenches and prospecting for water, giving an overall impression of confusion and lack of cohesion due to communication problems.
