Towards midnight we hear for the first time war and see the gun boats using the searchlights and shooting also. As we draw near to land, we are put into lighters and towed alongside the little bit of pier at 1.00am. We go up into Shrapnel Gully and camp till daylight. Next day we shift into Monash Gully and dig in’.
