Notes: Gallipoli-Survivors in Hokitika-Hokitika Guardian Thirty four years ago, on August 8 1915, the fifth reinforcements of the 1st NZEF landed at Gallipoli. Perhaps the lucky 5ths fared better than earlier reinforcements in that their arrival at Anzac was made unknown to the Turks, who greeted every other reinforcement with a teriffic straffing as they came ashore. Several members of the 5th reinforcement are at present at Hokitika and our representative sought to interview these old soldiers. He managed to land the Wells brothers Tom and Jim (Potsie) Wells. Reminising on his experiences Mr J Wells stated that he and his brother remained on the peninsula until evacuated. His most vivid memories of the war of those days was the trek the soldiers had to make to assuage their thirst from the bracken water on the beachead. Mr Wells regarded the 1915-16 as one worth recording. The troops had a wonderful christmas dinner. This consisted of cold black tea and mandarines on the island of Lennos where mandarines grow in abundance. It is worth recording that the fifth and sixth reinforcements so helped the badly depleted forces and provided much wanted fatigues to take amunition and food to the forward trenches that the New Zealanders were enabled to hang on until the very successful evacuation was made in December 1915. They had the following children: 37 F i. Nora Margaret WELLS was born on 12 Aug 1919 in Hokitika, Nz. Noted events in her life were: 1. Occupation; Registered Nurse. 2.
