may not be
known to you
but his action
at Gallipoli
marked
the memory
of the Anzacs
since he managed
swimming
to reach the shore
of the Gulf of Saros
to light smoke flares
beneath the positions
of the Ottomans²
and despite
being fired upon³
the salamander
as he was called by
Churchill⁴
survived
and became a general
and after the war
Governor-General
of New Zealand⁵.
