Description
Eric Lewes' (Private, 16th Waikato Company) reminiscences are a personal account of his experiences landing at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. He relates the events of the first few days.
Written in the first person and transcribed by Stacey Jonas into an exercise book as a school writing project. It appears the exercise book was later used in children’s' school games as red correction marks have been made on each page. The cover of the Egmont exercise book has the name Stacey Jonas written into the Pupil's name space. The name of the school is illegible. Some pages of the transcript are missing.
A full digital transcription is available.
