Pte Ralph Goode (Lilydale), 2nd Field Ambulance: On Anzac Cove. In his diary –‘I’ve been through hell and out again. Last night the New Zealanders took a hill and got terribly cut up, had to leave the new position. Our chaps also took a hill and I think still hold it. Our section got called out at 9pm and I got in for a spell at midday today. Some of the wounds are awful, I saw some of our chaps getting up to the trenches, the Turks had a machine gun trained on them, not a man escaped. Today was the heaviest casualties since last Sunday, we worked fifty-five hours without a spell, the snipers were very bad today, bullets chipping up the ground all round us but none of our chaps hit’.
Pte James Mackie (Seville), 6th Battalion: Is wounded in action, severe gunshot wounds to his chest, and he dies soon after. He is 20 years old and would be buried at the Beach Cemetery at Gallipoli. He is the first from Seville to die in the war. In The Age newspaper his parents placed the following words in his memory:
He rose, responsive, to his country’s call,
And gave his best – his life – his all.
