Australian War Memorial - 1918: Fritz - Australian soldiers' relations with Germans
Letter
from German soldier dated 5 May 1918, describing Australian
soldiers
Text
translated into English reads: "...We
are here near ALBERT, I am in the foremost line, about 200
metres opposite the British. We have Australians in front
of us here, they are very quick and cunning. They creep up
in the night like cats to our trenches so that we don't notice
them. Last night they were in our trench and killed two men
and dragged one away with them...."
