Gallipoli, April 25, 1915

"And how well I remember that terrible day

How our blood stained the sand and the water.

And of how in that hell that they called Suvla Bay

We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter.

Johnny Turk, he was waiting, he'd primed himself well

He showered us with bullets and he rained us with shell

And in five minutes flat, he'd blown us all to hell

Nearly blew us right back to Australia..."
