13th Battalion Unit History - 8 August
1915 – Australia Valley
All night we stood-to, for the Turks had
massed in overwhelming numbers all over Kaiajik Aghala on our immediate
front. Finding no danger from Suvla, they turned their attention to our
front. At dawn on the 9th the Dere in front of “C” was seen to be
filled with them. They were rushing up the slope in small batches, but
we withheld until 70 were right under us, when our hurricane fire wiped
the whole of them out except half-a-dozen, who, escaping to shelter,
worried us all the morning by sniping, hitting a dozen before the last
was shot by Lt. Ford. Our losses for the day were 10 killed, including
Lt. Hartnell-Sinclair, and 21 wounded.
