A Diary Entry from Gallipoli

Bang! Bang! It was 1914 when it all started. I felt so scared when I heard all the gunshots.

I felt like I was going to die but I fought on. It smelt like gun smoke on the battle field. Most of the smoke went into my lungs. There was blood everywhere, I just wanted to scream out loud.

It looked like I was the only one alive after an attack...but I saw shadows and thought it was my team. Lucky I was still hiding because it was the Turks. They walked towards me but they didn't see me, they were going to destroy our trenches.

It was my turn to fight for our country. I got up and screamed out loud so they could hear and see me. They all turned around and started shooting at me but they missed. I picked up my gun and shot everywhere. No one was let standing but me.

Light finally came, it was day time. The war was over at last. I said, "I  helped saved our country".
