Gallipoli Stories

"Life goes on Grace, this war can and will take everything but our love is something it won't." Billy states, his hat brushing her cheek. Billy Nykiel is a charmer. Good looks have blessed him and he can play any sport you throw at him if he tried! But the day, the war rolled in, his life changed. Hamish, Jack, Dave and Billy have been best mates since the moment they met. They roamed the streets as four year olds and went through school together. They've played every footy match they've ever played together. But what happens to Billy when he has to leave his love and his country? Grace Craig is in a way a wild child. Always with these boys, keeping an out. Grace isn't exactly what you'd call a 20th century lady. She couldn't help that there was more to life than cooking dinner for her brothers. When the war comes she kisses her Billy and the other boys goodbye and sets to work. What happens if one of her boys doesn't come home?

Private Ryan Goode of the Australian Rifle Corps finds himself fighting in one of the bloodiest conflicts during the Great War: The Siege of Gallipoli. Infamous for it's naval barrage and Anzac landing, the siege of Gallipoli was a military failure, that cost the allies a lot of footing in the war.

This is a piece of work I did for my creative writing class at school. It is the diary of a soldier in Gallipoli in World War 1. It's not the sort of thing I'd usually write, but hope you like it.

By George deValier - Gallipoli, April 25, 1915. Australia is a young nation with plenty to prove. And war is where nations prove themselves. Status: Completed One-shot Disclaimer: This story belongs to George deValier. Hetalia belongs to Hidekaz Himaruya. I own nothing.

Baker Street is a simple street in Hillford, a country town in South Australia. Number 39 is a cottage, with a slate veranda with roses that creep up the posts and old fashioned window panes. It was built with sandstone bricks and love in 1888 but the original owners eventually decided it wasn't for them and the cottage was left to rot. On May 13th 1914, 20 year olds indigenous, and patriotic Australian Angus Shearer and Ackland inhabitant and proud New Zealander, Lucy Hamilton moved in to the abandoned house. Happy and ready to see where life took them. The two fell instantly in love with the simple old house and knew it was everything they needed. But with the world succumbing to war a few months later, their lives are torn apart by loss and heartache and eventually, 39 Baker Street is once again abandoned and left alone. 100 years later, on May 13 2014, 20 year olds, Indigenous shearer, Eli Shearer and Christ Church local Elouise Green drive through Hillford as an engaged couple and come across an overgrown house with a slate veranda and old fashioned window panes. The two fall instantly in love with the simple old house and get to work straight away. After making it their own, they decide to investigate. In the attic one day they come across a diary, the leather case coated in mud and a black and white photograph of a smiling couple, a soldier and his girl.

A poem about war.

"These heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives.... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore REST IN PEACE... ....You. The mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears.... After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well..." "The memory was alive, and through none of them would ever see the ANZAC beach again, the first great sacred spot in the history of Australia was the ANZAC beach and the heights above it..."

Pain, Laughter. That what makes us come together as one.
