Hell and Confusion connecting people.

Sgt. Albert Michael Sullivan, 3rd Light Horse Field Ambulance, wrote from Anzac on 23rd June 1915.

“Things liven up at times... but at the present moment not even a rifle-shot can be heard. It is a most glorious morning. At 6.30 I crawled from my dug-out and had a swim; then breakfast of bacon, biscuits, and jam. And now as I am writing this, the sky is beautifully clear and blue; the sea is likewise, and as still as the surface of our old lake. From my position on the hillside I can see right through the crystal water. And round about the horizon is cut by a sprinkling of the Isles of Greece. Among the many birds in the scrub are wrens and doves, but bullets and 'shrap' make observation hardly worth while.” [1]
