May 24: "Whoever finds this notebook should send it to the address above out of respect to a martyr."
May 30 (arrive at Yerlisu Village): "I ate a loaf of bread with yoghurt, and drank tea. I slept for a while, and when I woke up, my adjutant delivered an order. He wanted soldiers to wash their feet and the injured ones should get their feet immersed in the salty water... There were over 30 soldiers with wounded feet. Some of them were really in bad condition. However, there was nothing that could be done..."
June 2 (Arrive at Dardenelles): "...Oh! What luminescence the sea had. The bluish still water of Dardanelles deeply touched my soul. The off-white waves reminded me of Istanbul, of the beautiful Sariyer (coastal district)...
How far I am now from there, from my acquaintances!
I saw the ship of Sirket-i Hayriye (a Turkish maritime organization). The ship, which I had left in the Bosporus, appeared right in front of me again in the Dardanelles after eight days. I do not know why, but it aroused a unique excitement..."
June 3: "Beautiful Canakkale was ruined. The enemy had burnt and demolished many parts of the city. The rest was empty or closed. Few shops were open..."
June 6: "The wind was so strong. Our 15- and 20-centimeter cannons began to fire at the enemy... Just now, the major told us that the enemy was repelled and that 17 machine guns were captured..."
June 7 (On being told to make a map of Gallipoli): "I worked from 8:30 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. It just was not possible, because the curves, roads, walkways, telegraph lines on the map were so complicated... I would rather go to the battle instead of this duty!"
June 13: "The battle continues uninterruptedly under all types of weather... The enemy airplanes are flying above us. When we see an airplane, we immediately lie down." "a wide field full of dead bodies"
June 17: "It was an airplane with black wings and a white tail. It flew over our headquarters... We could clearly see the plane dropping bombs. They exploded making a terrible sound... No losses."
June 18: "Among all this beautiful scenery, I can see the coldness of death."
June 19: "Gunfire continued here and there... Airplanes are flying continuously..."
At midnight: "I woke up with the terrible resonance of bullets flying above us. The enemy's cruiser was firing. All night long, cannon and infantry fire continued."
June 21 (Last diary entry before he died minutes later): "We are in the battle; millions of cannons and guns exploded. My first corporal has just been wounded. Farewell,"

“The actual fighting at Anzac was easiest of all. The fatigue work was enormous, colossal. Imagine a man with two kerosene tins full of water tied together with a belt and slung over the shoulder climbing for 800 meters up the grades, slipping back, up and on again, the heat of the sun terrible, bullets and shells everywhere and as often as happened, a bullet and shrapnel hitting the tins and bursting it and the priceless fluid running away just as he had scrambled almost to the top. Nothing for it but to go all the way down again for some more. No, I think everyone was who was at Anzac will agree with me that the hardest fighting done there was by the water and rations fatigue.

Whenever possible, whether in the line or out of it, a man paired off with a mate and established a ‘bivvy’. This was a structure of a very primitive sort. With pick and shovel a cut was made in a slope that gave protection from the bullets of the snipers, and if possible from the bursts of shrapnel. A couple of salvaged oil sheets pinned across with salvaged bayonets made a roof that would keep out the dew at night and the sun glare by day. Furnishings consisted of commandeered sandbags or old overcoats for softening the hardness of the baked floor, a cut down petrol tin for a ‘bath’ and whole one for storing water. As soon as the work was finished the flies and the lice – the permanent residents – took up their abode, while the casual boarders such as centipedes and soldiers strayed in from time to time as opportunity offered…

“You must not imagine that life in one of these year long modern battles consists of continuous bomb fighting, bayoneting and bombarding all the time….the chief occupation is the digging of mile upon mile of endless trench, of sunken road…the carrying of biscuit boxes and building timber for hours daily…the sweeping and disinfecting of trenches in the never ending battle against flies – this is the soldiers life for nine days out of ten in a modern battle.”

“A few had bivvies, excavated in the walls of trenches, but most men had only the floor of the trench upon which to lie. Here, clothed in their overcoats and wrapped in their single blankets, they slumbered – only to be rudely awakened now and then by the pressure on some part of their anatomy of the feet of a passenger to or from the front line…In the front trenches, where garrisons were relieved by the supports every 24 hours, sleep was, theoretically, not to be thought of. However, the normal man felt that at some time during the 24 hours it was good to close his tired eyes – if only for a few minutes.”
