A snippet of our ANZAC writing...

My ears exploded with agony as the sound of death whizzed through the air.  Squelching footsteps echoed through the muddy trench as the General barked orders.  Wounded men were dragged in screaming in pain, as red and orange illuminated the sky,  as the sun fell.
Luke Smith and Thomas Benson

We suddenly heard pings and whizzes of bullets shooting through the air that was filled with bright orange sparks.  There were footsteps in all directions through the mud and then boom!
Ruby McLachlan and Ava Hay

The trenches seem like a smelly prison.  With crumbly walls and rotting wood that could break down at any moment.

I got to the top of the challenging ladder and froze.  I was at the front of No Man's Land.  All beside me were soldiers looking very scared, when we looked at each other.  We all knew we had to run!
Lukas Henderson

We slowly moved towards the shore in darkness, wondering what was ahead of us.  All we could hear was guns firing, and in the distance we could see shells falling.

We suddenly heard the screeching whistle blow.  I can see a blend of yellow and orange explosions close by.  Whizzing sparks through the air and deep footprints everywhere.  I can hear the mens miserable shouts and more bullets flying through the air.

Surrounding me is the slightly teared and battered tent, with the cold wind seeping through the fabric.  I know this tent won't last and I'll have to move onto another patient soon, but I never know where to start.  Because the screams and pleading cries for help never seem to fade away.
