We put, in the first place, the flth Battalion Queenslanders ashore, and we shall never forget how they went there. Later on in the day we put the Otago Battalion of New Zealanders ashore. Since then we have been associated with the Anzao troops right up to the time of the evacuation. We assisted at Suvla Bay, so we know all about the 'bhoys.' We could never allow the 25th to pass without showing you in some way how we remember it. Failing our attendance on the 25th we would all express our wishes of good luck and good healthy to all the Anzac boys.
