Personal stories from Gallipoli

Percival Fenwick

Doctor Pecival Fenwick was on the first New Zealand boat to land at Gallipoli. No stranger to death or the horrors of war, he treated huge numbers of soldiers at the medical stations of Anzac Cove. During his time at Gallipoli he wrote a diary for his wife which described his experiences. This diary became a key primary source in the development of Anzac Cove in Minecraft.
