"On the Anzac Trail: Being extracts from the diary of a New Zealand sapper" by Anzac is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text narrates the experiences of a New Zealand soldier involved in World War I, detailing his enlistment, training, and deployment as part of the ANZAC forces. This firsthand account captures the daily life, camaraderie, and challenges faced by soldiers during their time in Egypt and the Dardanelles. The beginning of the work introduces the sapper's journey as he joins the military efforts from his life in Ireland and New Zealand. He recounts the camaraderie in the camp, the rigors of training, and his transition from civilian to soldier. The excerpt describes the atmosphere of the camp, highlighting the different nationalities among the troops, their training routines, and initial experiences in Egypt, emphasizing both the brotherhood formed among the soldiers and the stark realities of military life during wartime. The sapper's voice is both candid and reflective, providing insight into the sentiments and experiences that shaped the ANZAC spirit. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
