Pte Ralph Goode (Lilydale), 2^nd Field Ambulance: At Cape Helles. In his diary –‘I had a miraculous escape from being blown to pieces today. I was standing talking to Capt Chambers alongside of his dugout, which he had just come out of, when a shell dropped right in to it. We were showered with dirt and debris but got off without a scratch. From then on for an hour we were shelled unmercifully, seven shells at a time, and we counted one hundred and twenty-seven shells burst in a radius of one hundred yards of our camp, four or five were hit but nothing serious. Went to find Billy McLeod today and learned he was reported missing, but found ‘Smiler’ who is all right’.

Pte Frederick Crooks (Wandin), 6^th Battalion: Is wounded in action, bullet wound to the shoulder, and is evacuated from Anzac Cove to hospital on Malta.
