I will be posting these pages from Nurse Dottie Thompson diary a few pages at a time. There are over 150 entries from very talented, witty and very appreciative soldiers, even the privates show a degree of good schooling.

These entries will be from Dardnelles related.

The caption on the above entry says the following:   "No room for slackers in Kitcheners Army." The soldier name was Pte T. Helliwell, 8th Manchester Regiment; 42nd Division; Invalided from Dardenelles, Nov. 13th 1915

This entry below has two soldiers writing on this one page. It  begins with this name:

Pte A. Yates 1/5 Lanc Fues ?, No 2523; Wounded Aug 1915 at Dardanelles

The second is signed as follows:  Le Cpl G. A. Hyde; 1/7 Essex Reg No 2511; Wounded Oct 7th 1915; Dardanelles and he signs it:

"It is not in ----?--- to -----?----- Success but ----?----- do more ----?----- it."  Can you figure out what he says?

The entry below is signed:  L/Cpl Williams; 5th Batt Wilts Reg.; Invaled from Dardnelles to the Grange hospital Southport

I will be adding more in the future. For enjoyment here are some drawings without caption or explaination:
