Issue 87/16:- The contributions to the Daily Graphic Fund for British Prisoners of War in Germany last term amounted to £16 10s. 0d. This term the contributions are to be devoted to the support of the Voluntary Aid Military Hospital at Stormont House, Downs Park Road (opposite the Lodge). We feel sure that the vast majority of our readers will heartily concur in the sentiments of the poem, “The R.S.M.,” which we print elsewhere, and will be glad to know that our former Instructor has won such a splendid reputation among his new Army Friends. We are greatly indebted to Instructor Parsons for his interesting account of his adventures during the retreat from Mons, which will be found on another page.
WITH THE R.A.M.C. IN THE DARDANELLES. (87/16) By the kind permission of Mr.A.Longcroft we are enabled to publish the following extract from a letter received some months ago from Private B.Lockspeiser, then with the Dardanelles Expeditionary Force:- BACTERIOLOGICAL LAB. 1st STATIONARY HOSPITAL, R.A.M.C. “I will now give you a brief résumé of my experiences, which have been as varied as anybody, with twice as adventuresome a mind as my own, could have desired. I think I wrote you a letter from hospital in Alexandria. I left hospital when my section left for Port Said, and no sooner had I arrived there than I fell sick again with a recurrence of fever. I didn’t go in hospital again because our movements were uncertain and I had no desire to be left behind, so I dosed myself with quinine and rested for a week, and eventually I ended up on the right side and we sailed with the famous 29th Division for the Peninsula. The details of the incidents that ensued you could have read from abler pens than mine, and all I need say is that no one could have wished for a more effective baptism of fire. We landed soon after the main body, attached ourselves to the Royal Naval Division, and quickly learnt how to dig ourselves in, for the Turks began to reply rather forcibly from Achi Baba with 10-inch howitzers. Those were anxious days, waiting for reinforcements, when the remnants of the 29th and the R.N. Divisions held the line against heavy odds. I believe the Turks could have swept us into the sea if they had had sufficient courage, and there can be little doubt but that they were frightfully demoralised over the landing. During this period the Fleet was wonderfully effective, pouring an almost ceaseless hurricane of fire into the Turkish positions. Our own particular duties were chiefly with regard to water, but we gave a hand to anything, as everyone had to do. It was a case of each for all, for you can well understand that the landing of a big army, under a determined opposition, including all its stores and supplies, is no light task. Trenches existed everywhere, and we used to drop into these to avoid the Turks’ fire. One day I dropped to hurriedly (although not too soon to avoid the shell) and tore the ligament of my foot. Consequently I was hors de combat for a week or ten days, and lay on my back in the dug-out - which became exceedingly boring, I can assure you. But fortunately, I and my particular pals escaped further harm for the time, and we began our regular duties. Part of my work consisted in making rough field analyses of the various wells and springs, and in no case was there any deliberate pollution. And let me say here that the Turks, apart from occasional sniping affairs when the Red Cross men suffered badly, have fought cleanly - that is to say, as far as I was in a position to judge. Perhaps they fear the reckoning! As we advanced, a small squad of five men, of which I was one, was sent up to the advanced station. There I was again engaged chiefly on water, and as we were situated among half-a-dozen “soixante-quinze” batteries we got our fair share of attention. In particular, “Asiatic Annie”, who succeeded the “Belle of Asia” after the latter had come to a bad end, was very troublesome, and we had to make some very effective dug-outs. Again our little party escaped disaster, although our comrades had many a casualty - chiefly from shellfire, for few dug-outs will stand these high explosives. Those were nerve-racking days, but we kept cheerful, and, strange as it may seem, got quite used to the business. Shells simply became part of the day’s rations, and we learnt how to extract cover from a couple of bricks. To cut a long story short, things went on somewhat monotonously till I fell sick again with fever. My temperature was 104, and the authorities refused to allow me to pull myself round in my dug-out, so I was packed off to the Base, where I remained in hospital for a fortnight. I shall never forget the delightful feeling I experienced on sleeping in a bed once more, for comforts on the Peninsula were absolutely non-existent. The fever abated, and on coming out I fell into the company of a bacteriologist (quite by chance) who was looking out for a chemist to look after the chemical side of the business. Presenting my qualifications, I was immediately accepted, and so voilà here I am!
