Pte Ralph Goode (Lilydale), 2nd Field Ambulance: On Anzac Cove. In his diary – ‘Sixteen weeks we’ve been in the firing line without relief. It’s cruel, the heads must be mad not to give us a spell, its breaking our spirit, hundreds of men are being sent away every week utterly run down. We are nearly all suffering from diarrhoea and dysentery and hundreds of men are suffering fearfully from Barcoo Rot, every scratch we get, if not seen to immediately, turns septic. The flies are so bad’.
