The first British officer to land in Gallipoli was
dropped over board a war ship, to light decoys
on the shore so as to deceive the Turks as to
where the landing was to be. It was frosty
weather. It was the dead of night. He was hatted
& painted black. He swam in the dark
water, pushing a raft before him, with the
decoys on it. Firing from guns were
going on all around him and it was a
two hours swim. He did it. He landed
he crawled through the scrub to listen to
the enemy talk. The enemies were so near
that he could have shaken hands with them
He lit his decoys & swam back to the ship
another 2 hours in the dark sea - with
firing going on all the time.
Colonel Freberg was this hero, of
Gallipoli.
