[* The famous Photo taken
by Maj. Evans of 9 Bty.
in Action at Anzac.*]
This Gun ws shooting at
the "Pipsqueak" (75 - ½ way
betw the Wine glass &
Olive grove wh always used
to fire when the guns fired
on olive grove. One gun
ws always kept upon
it & when firing at Olive Grove
they used to keep Grigg watching the
gun. [The one time they were
[*Gaba [[shorthand]] ws 2850 [[shorthand]]
the Guns. Burgess bty.*]
asked by Ryrie to devote
this gun to something else. The
"Pip Squeak" got into it
[*(This ws
not / above shoot 
Shown in / photo.)*]
& k 1 good man & wd
another (Woods & Macgregor)
They were firing at Olive
Grove at the time & Ryrie
rang up to get them onto some
men who were making two gun
emplacemts. Burgess knew of these
[*Burgess' Photos
{ 21 Pybus }
{ 14 Evans }
{ 2 Lange. }. *]
& ws waiting for / guns to go in, to
finish the guns w H.E wh he now
had. But Ryrie sd - well if you
dont shoot on targets when we point
them out we wont point them." So he turned this gun on.
