Dear Mother
These are some views of Galipolli (sic) which are being sold in the camp for 2d each. This one shows the beach on the left of the part named Anzac Cove. The couple of boats seen on the extreme right of the view contained an extremely unfortunate party they were broken & holed to such an extent that they were useless after the first couple of trips. My unit set foot on the beach near the boat on its own and worked upon the ridge to be seen rising to the right of the view. I have my doubts as to wether (sic) this view was taken on the day of landing or not anyhow it was taken within 8 days. Suvla point can be seen across the water & 3 battleships can be seen.
