76
At 00:07:42,595, Character said: Of course, that was before

77
At 00:07:52,595, Character said: Transport after transport

78
At 00:07:56,825, Character said: Could see our troops

79

80
At 00:08:09,565, Character said: We went in to reinforce
the Australians,

81

90
At 00:09:22,580, Character said: The wounded, they...
They just kept on coming.

91
At 00:09:28,880, Character said: We were ordered to leave them
and to concentrate on the landing.

92
At 00:09:33,495, Character said: But I felt it was wrong to let
the wounded suffer like that.

93

at Gallipoli.

101
At 00:10:56,445, Character said: I didn't take enlistment lightly.

102
At 00:10:59,755, Character said: What counted for me was that
the church backed the war,

103
At 00:11:02,535, Character said: and...

104
At 00:11:03,465, Character said: I wanted to do
the Christian thing.

105
At 00:11:08,405, Character said: My ambulance unit was ashore,

106
At 00:11:10,855, Character said: but...

107
At 00:11:11,765, Character said: a group of us
had been left behind.

108
At 00:11:15,500, Character said: I ended up on a transport.

109

110
At 00:11:21,225, Character said: I had a hold full

was brought onboard.

112
At 00:11:30,405, Character said: He had a bullet in his brain.

113
At 00:11:33,050, Character said: I begged the doctors
to operate,

114
At 00:11:35,285, Character said: but they said there was
nothing they could do.

115
At 00:11:42,045, Character said: He died the following day.

116
At 00:12:11,905, Character said: We left for the land hospital
with 600 wounded onboard.

117
At 00:12:20,585, Character said: I was working night duty
with one other nurse.

118
At 00:12:24,165, Character said: With the help of the orderlies,
we'd do half the ship each.

119
At 00:12:32,705, Character said: It hardly seemed real.

120
At 00:12:42,605, Character said: I was anxious about
our position.

121
At 00:12:46,175, Character said: We were hanging by our eyebrows
off a sort of eagle's nest,

122
At 00:12:50,625, Character said: backed by our ships' guns.

123
At 00:12:53,705, Character said: There were discussions
about withdrawal. But...

124
At 00:12:57,185, Character said: Well, we were instructed
to dig in.

125
At 00:13:05,730, Character said: There were 25,000 men
in our small patch of land.

126
At 00:13:25,210, Character said: Oh, the things were busy down
on the beach.

127
At 00:13:28,135, Character said: You can imagine
what it was like.

128
At 00:13:41,270, Character said: I was appointed commandant
of ANZAC Cove.

129
At 00:13:44,555, Character said: Uh, ANZAC is an acronym for

130
At 00:13:47,515, Character said: Australian
and New Zealand Army Corps.

131
At 00:13:49,915, Character said: So the ANZAC moniker stuck,

132
At 00:13:52,825, Character said: a little like we did
to our tiny piece of land.

133
At 00:14:02,115, Character said: It was over a week before
I was finally dumped on shore.

134
At 00:14:07,905, Character said: My unit was stationed
under a steep cliff.

135
At 00:14:16,905, Character said: The boys were pretty
pleased to see me.

136
At 00:14:19,955, Character said: There were...

137
At 00:14:22,595, Character said: well, there were gaps to fill.

138...
