A Soldier's Letter From Gaza Front Line
Trooper Ben Ralph of Seabrook writes home from Palestine describing battles near Gaza on March 27 and April 17. He recalls being slightly wounded by a shell, losing a hair-raising moment yet saving himself, and keeping the bullet as a memento. He notes camel corps, Bedouins, shifting trenches, and ongoing operations against Turkish forces, with references to local scenery, supplies, and camaraderie.
