L.G: Describe a moment in time through the eyes of an ANZAC soldier.

S.O.S: - I have described the senses the soldier would feel.

- I have painted a picture in the readers head.

THE WAR

Did that hard bullet just graze my head? I am so scared. I am sick. We finally got to Gallipoli in Turkey. It was April 25^th 1915. We were fighting for Russian land. We were also fighting for the British. Before I could blink, bam, he blows up the big barrier. I could hear the machine gun firing at me. Oh, I’m shot! I’m shot! I could see the blood dribbling down my leg. I could smell the smoke hovering though my body and I could feel another ANZAC right beside me on the ground. I could taste the dirt that I had swallowed. I got back up with the guy on my back and I started climbing and I got to the top. I ran 15 metres. We were all getting shot on the way to the protecting barrier. My heart was beating. It felt like my heart was going to come out of my chest. There are people all around me. There is blood all over my boots. Weeks and weeks of fighting and finally I come back to my sad family.     Written by Jake White

We were lucky enough to meet a real Sargent from the New Zealand Army. He showed us all of the equipment he uses in New Zealand and in countries like Afghanistan. At the end of his visit, he surprised us with rashan packs, camo paint and glow sticks that they use when serving our country!
What a great day!
