He were always throwing jammed tin bombs over onto us. And we were throwing jammed tin bombs back onto them. And they were literally jammed tin bombs. By the summer the two sides stopped exchanging homemade bombs across the trenches. Britain and its allies launched a huge offensive to try to end the deadlock.
I borrowed a watch from a chap called Johnston, I think, so that I could time the attack and go over punctually at 10 o'clock. I gave a view holler and said, come on, boys, and went up over the top. I got to the edge of the Turkish trench and flung myself down just to crawl in, and a bomb came and fortunately for me blew my leg off.
Once he had his watch back, Johnson saved Westy's life.
Johnson sanoi, ettÀ minÀ menen sinut takaisin. MinÀ sanoin, ettÀ minulla on olemassa olemassa, ettÀ ei ole kÀÀntynyt takaisin. HÀn sanoi, ettÀ
HÀn heitti minut takaisin, ja hÀn meni minuun tÀllaisella huonolla reilullisella reilullisella reilulla. SiellÀ oli nÀitÀ kÀmmenpaitoja koko ajan. Jokaisen hÀn meni ylös, ja minun huonosti leikki tuli paikoilleen ja tuli taaksepÀin. Se oli edelleen ylöspÀin putteja ja paitoja ja niin edelleen. Joka tapauksessa minua meni takaisin pihalle. SiellÀ oli kerro, jonka jÀrjestÀminen oli ylöspÀin.
He laitoivat tÀmÀn lÀmpöön ja laitoivat sydÀntÀviÀ ympÀriÀ.
An Indian stood with one foot on each end of the stretcher, so that it wouldn't tip over. And fortunately for me, the next thing I remembered, I was dumped on the deck of a hospital ship. Because half the wound had just dropped overboard like that. On the hospital ship, Westy had his leg amputated. To him this actually felt like good news, because it meant he would be invalided out of Gallipoli.
Pidin siellÀ koko pÀivÀn, ja iltapÀivÀnÀ Stuart tuli ylös. Muistan, ettÀ valitsin erittÀin hyvÀn iltapÀivÀn ja ison kriinan. HÀn sanoi, ettÀ mitÀ sinun pitÀisi syödÀ? MinÀ sanoin, ettÀ mitÀ tarkoitat? HÀn sanoi, ettÀ voit soittaa mitÀ vain haluat. MinÀ sanoin, ettÀ haluaisin pieni pöytÀ champagnea. HÀn antoi minulle pieni pöytÀ champagnea.
Ja olin syönyt tÀmÀn yöllÀ, ja olin todella nauttunut siitÀ. Se oli ensimmÀinen suuri syöntÀ, jota olin saanut, kun jÀin Ruotsiin. MinÀ olin aina katsomassa Ruotsiin, olin luonnollisimmassa miehessÀ Ruotsissa. Koska olin saanut leikon ulos, eikÀ pystynyt takaisin. Britannia ja sen ystÀviÀ pysyivÀt Gallipoliin, ennen kuin ilta alkoi. He olivat menneet noin 40 000 henkilöÀ. Westi tuli Ruotsiin ja oli pitkÀaikainen kolonialaisyhtiössÀ.
Rupert Westmacott, Westy, spoke to the BBC in 1989. He died that same year, aged 97. His memories from the Battle of Gallipoli were brought to us by Simon Watts. It's always astonishing to hear the remarkably matter-of-fact way in which veterans of such horrors recall them.
I had a complete absolute breakdown and I spent four days in bed. I was asleep and semi-unconscious. When I eventually did get out of bed, I went back, looked at the bedroom and couldn't believe what I could see. Before that though, we're going back to the 1980s and the UK's worst sporting disaster. 97 fans died as a result of a crowd crush during a football match at the Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield.
Two of the people who died that day were Jenny Hicks' daughters. She's been describing to Rachel Naylor in some distressing detail how that day unfolded.
On 15.5.1989. Jenny Hicks, hÀnen isÀnsÀ Trevor ja heidÀn isÀnsÀ Sarah, 19-vuotias, ja Vicky, 15-vuotias, ovat pÀÀsseet heidÀn kotonsa Londonin ja Sheffieldin pohjois-Inglannin pohjois-Inglannin pohjois-Inglannin pohjois-Inglannin pohjois-Inglannin
Kun pÀÀsivÀt ja syövÀt piiknikkipiikkiÀ, ne kuulivat kohti maata. Olemme saaneet neljÀ tikkettÀ. Kolme olivat Leppingslaan paikallisessa alussa, ja yksi oli paikallisessa alussa. Treva sanoi, ettÀ hÀn kÀy kaverien kanssa. Sanoin Sarahille ja Vickylle kukin ja sanoin, ettÀ rakastan heidÀt. Ja menin ulos ja otin paikallisen.
Kun katsoin LÀppimÀÀrÀn loppuun, se tuntui minulle, ettÀ siellÀ oli ihmisiÀ keskellÀ. Ja ei ollut kovin monia ihmisiÀ puolestaan. Kun aika meni eteenpÀin, me olimme jatkuvasti lÀhestymÀssÀ. Se tuntui todella, todella keskellÀ niissÀ keskellÀ kaksi pöytÀ. Kun tuhansia ympÀristöjÀ pakkoi keskelle Teres-alueelle, elÀmÀ muuttui dramaattisesti. TÀÀllÀ fanit tunnistivat vaikeuden.
I could see supporters climbing over the top of the fencing. There were police officers along the side and actually they were pushing these fans back in. I think they thought that the fans were misbehaving in some way. Police gave orders for a gate to be opened to relieve pressure on some outside turnstiles. I could see people coming over now and sort of collapsing on the track at the side of the pitch.
Jos olen totta kertomassa, ei nÀyttÀnyt, ettÀ mitÀÀn ei ole tehty siitÀ. SiellÀ oli puutteita nÀiden puutteiden ympÀrillÀ, mutta ne eivÀt olleet olemassa, jotta joku voisi jÀÀdÀ ulos. Kuusi minuuttia sitten poliisilÀhtö pÀÀtti lÀhettÀÀ refferiÀ ja pyytÀÀ, ettÀ hÀn jÀÀ ulos.
Once the game was stopped, I think those perimeter fence gates were opened. It seemed to be the fans who were acting as rescuers. They were carrying them out and laying them on the pitch. I could see people trying to resuscitate people. Some were hauled out of the lethal crush by people in the stands directly above them. On the ground, young Liverpool fans hurled recriminations at policemen still standing only a few feet from them.
Muistan, kun yksi ambulanssi tuli pitkÀÀn. Se oli surullista. Emme olleet anneet mitÀÀn tietoa. Lopulta tanoi-messi tulikin.
I think it would have been just after fourish an announcement came that we could now leave the ground. Vans were pouring off the Leppings Lane terraces and they all seemed very angry and upset and distressed. They were shouting to the police, calling them murderers. Eventually the crowds thinned and finally nobody came.
