Pte Ralph Goode (Lilydale), 2^nd Field Ambulance: In France. In his diary – ‘I am writing this while thousands of shells are screaming overhead. Two thousand of our guns are belching forth as fast as they can fire for the last four hours, our Division is just about to go over the parapets, it’s now 12.25am and at 12.30am we attack. The noise and roar, with the air full of smoke and the earth trembling, is nearly sending us mad. What must Fritz feel like, he has been bombarding us pretty freely, one killed, one wounded of our corps so far’.
