First World War Diary of Rifleman Frederick Joseph Stanbridge

By Frederick Joseph Stanbridge with Wendy Frances Marston (nee) Stanbridge

Somewhere in Palestine March 10th, 1918My Very Dear Brother Ern, ....since receiving your last letter, I have been ""over the top"". I was expecting to have to go, but I assure you Ern, I never dreamed it would be so terrible ... I want to try to forget those certain 16 hours, but I cannot, and I am afraid I never shall. I really think the night of February 19-20th was (for me anyhow) a night in hell. We had to attack Johnny with the bayonet in the dark about 1:30 (and it was dark too). He was stronger than expected. If our machine guns had not come up just in time, I think we would all have been wiped out.
