Inf - 10th 9th - 3rd - evac 

N.Z. Came to Hughes for [[pitman shorthand symbols?]] in 

the early days.

 

 

3rd. Bn.
Lambs Brown work. Left on Quinns 

night
On Sunday night a platoon under Butler ?
[[Gotasdens?]] to go forward & dig in (60yds
ahead of line)
Sunday night attacked & dying in - 
men {about ?]] entrenching tools & ard 
dig as long as notarget & fire when
S of target.
Monday lay out under sharpnel.

Tuesday night at  alt s bugle calls
Going [[allalong?]] Turk left or left centre. 
Abt 8.30 2 Bns appeared  coming down
from Baby 700 [[diriater?]] in artillery
columns ( fight or something like our 
fighting column - with ????????? in four.
2 cols. Note sketch of two columns apparently in fours 
when they came under fire (abt 200 yds &
away) they deployed. There was a
Company forward as I outpost  & one
platoon was withdrawn away to left
 

 

under Butler. Abt. 9 pm You. B. was hit.
Att this time some of these troops were
lying out w  bayonets for 10 hrs  without 
Ammunition. The Ts, came up 1 gully e
& down 700 but seemed to break into
small parties under fire & did not
come straight.
The attack ws beaten off. Our
outpost was finally withdrawn.
There trenches  are now behind the
Turkish lines.
3rd Bn went in ou I right o I third
Bde - really  it ws as much in l middle 

of them - mixed up w odd bits of them.
On Tuesday Malone had to relieve a
trench containing abt 14 men dug in
on the Sunday abt 20 yds from any
one Else They had no Communication
till wed. Like Every our  else they were
in an odd bits at first they 
had no water sin or the
Sunday. By the Tuesday 
they had only 8 whole
men left - [[Lathead?]] no Le or N.C.O.
& consists of 3rd Bn , 3 Bde , N.Z all sorts.
