The Manslaughter at Gallipoli
It’s 3:30 am on the 25th of April 1915. I’m crammed into a landing boat like sardines in a can with thirty-nine other nervous men. I was so scared I was biting my fingernails. I could feel all the soldiers around me shaking uncontrollably .
BANG!! All of a sudden there was a flash of light from one of the battleships! “We’re EXPOSED!” shouted the Commander who was sitting up front. Suddenly bullets started showering the water. There were soldiers dying all around me.
I crawled through the dead bodies to the back of the landing boat. I threw a quick glance around me. There were only two people left alive in the boat. Without warning they both got shot and died in front of me. All of a sudden I also get shot in the shoulder. The force made me fall out the back of the boat from the shock and pain. My life flashed before my eyes. I’m
about to die. War is manslaughter, I thought as I sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

WALT write a descriptive ANZAC recount.
I am so proud of being able to finish writing it in time.
It can be tricky to write in paragraphs.
My friend or my teacher could help me.
The next step for me is to write another recount but with a different topic.

You have put a lot of effort into writing your ANZAC Recount. I am impressed with some of the descriptive words that you have used to make your writing seem real and the short sentences that add effect to your writing.
