PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Dirt blowing in my face, and all I hear is the deafening sound of machine guns firing all day this is the most smelly miserable place on the earth. This is a living hell here in Gallipoli we are getting killed one by one. There is a horrible smell of burning flesh it is making me really sad just thinking about all the people who have died here. We have been making bunkers and camps after we got past the Turks almost a quarter were lost when we landed. We have just woken up and have been digging trenches to last longer I am tired as hell.
