‘Things have been pretty quiet all day, we are strongly entrenched now and there is not so much hard work as tracks are being made up the hills though the scrub and a mule transport column has arrived and they are now carting most of the supplies to the trenches. At sunset the enemies’ artillery commenced to shell our positions but the battleships quickly replied and they soon quietened down. Another mate received a bullet wound in the shoulder today and went away to hospital.’
For the classroom: What would forging tracks be so important?
