Gallipoli Peninsula
Turkey
28 April 1915
Dear my family, Private John Simpson has been shot and I tried to help but it was too late I had to get to cover then I saw him laying on the ground his last words were save my donkey I did not know what to do I panicked his donkey was in cover and he said to me go! I tried to provide him cover but when I looked back his head was lying on the ground so I ran to cover so fast my legs were sore.
I hope to see you soon from Curtis
