May 26, 1915

4 torpedo destroyers came alongside to transfer us to the Dardenelles, 4 hours journey. Trip unsafe for Derflinger as 3 German submarines out. Australians lost 900 taking Big Hill. Living on dry rations - biscuits, bully beef - jam, since leaving Alexandria. Will be glad to get bit of bread again. Saw survivors from Triumph brought in by destroyers.
