Anzac Day: War letters to home

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Sunday marks the 106-year anniversary of the first landing of New Zealand and Australian soldiers at Anzac Cove on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

For many of the 16000 soldiers, April 25, 1915 marked their first day of combat.

Sunday marks the 106-year anniversary of the first landing of New Zealand and Australian soldiers at Anzac Cove on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

For many of the 16000 soldiers, April 25, 1915 marked their first day of combat.

And by that night, 2000 had been killed or maimed.

We remember our Auckland veterans and fallen soldiers with their letters to friends and loved ones back home.

Here are letters from Michael Menzies, a Prisoner of War in Japan, to his friend Norm Ryder:

6/5/45

Dear Norm,

Still existing and anticipating a speedy reunion.

Appreciate your kind thoughts and wishes.

I often have the Queen St blues and a perpetual Waitemata thirst and occasionally a nicotine fit.

Received three of your letters and am anxiously
awaiting for more.

Your Affectionate Pal

Snowy

Michael Menzies' letter to his relatives:
2/12/43

Dear Auntie Kate and Ange,

I received your very welcomed letter dated May 25th on Nov 25 th.

Although Jack has received a parcel from St Johns Association London and a very brief letter from Kathleen, this is the first I have received in twenty two long months.

I had given up all hope of getting mail so imagine the thrill it gave me.

There is only one thing I need Auntie and that is news, especially of Pat.

Please don’t keep it from me if anything has happened to him for that would only hurt me all the more.

I can’t help but think the worst has happened to him.

How is everyone in New Zealand?

I have made several radio broadcasts from here, did you hear any of them?

Of course I know you’ll understand when I tell you that our correspondence is limited in more ways than one.

Please don’t send money as you suggested, but a few packs of cigarettes, gum, and a photo would be very welcome.

Apart from a few attacks of asthma Jack is very well and sends his love to all.

I assure you Auntie that you have no need to worry so much over Jack or myself as we are both together which makes it much easier on me and under the circumstances the treatment is fair enough.

There are many things I want to ask you and tell you but unfortunately they will have to wait until peace has been restored once more to this mad world.

Well auntie I sincerely hope this letter finds you in the very best of health and

Along with it I send the seasons greetings and all my love.

Lots and lots of love.

Mick

We remember our Auckland veterans with their letters to friends and loved ones back home.

Sergent George Glasgow, of the 24th Battalion 2 N.Z.E.F, writes to his niece Dawn:

Dear Dawn,


Mummy tells me that you don’t like Jack Frost; well next time he comes to see you, tell him to come over here and see me as it is very hot over here.

I hope you and Gordie are having lots of fun on your swing.

When I get home, I will be able to push it for you.

How is Bruce and Gran’s pup getting on?

Does Uncle Stan ever come and see you?

I hope you work hard and get put up into standard 1.

Then when I come home you will be able to read your new books to me.

When are you going to take Gordie to school?

I will be home to play with you and Gordie soon.

Lots of love till then,

Uncle George xxxx
