Pte Felix Hargrave (Lilydale), 7^th Battalion: On Anzac Cove. In a letter to his sister in Lilydale – ‘The Jack Tars are fine chaps, and they think a lot of us lads. There is every uniform you could think of here – French, Algerian, Cingalese, Highlanders, Irish Fusiliers, Australians, New Zealanders, Tommies, etc besides a lot of different Indian soldiers. I reckon, between the lot of us, we ought to finish the Turks off before long. Once the Dardanelles are forced, it ought to be the turning point of the entire war. I don’t think the Turks can last long now. as they are just about full up of the fighting. They have had very heavy losses, as our navy and field guns have played havoc among them, to say nothing of machine guns, bombs, rifles and bayonets – ‘Turkish rib ticklers’ we call the latter. The slopes and gullies are full of dead Turks: it is something awful. I think Christmas ought to see the end in sight’.
