Lone Pine: Under the Top! The Turks

[fastphil]

The troops pushed out of my trench lines fell back to gain a short respite and rally in strong points further back from the front line. The 1st platoon #2 Company of the 2/47 arrived on the scene and occupied strongpoint (20,9)on my southern flank about 100 yds behind my front line. My remaining front line troops rallied and fired at nearby ANZAC troops to pin them down before they assault. We have pleaded with the regimental commander to release 1/47 but he is keeping it in reserve. Our calls for artillery have been for naught. So far by bayonet and small arms the ANZAC troops have created a breach in my lines. Hope reserves will be released and arrive in time to counter attack. I have a feeling this is going to be a long night.
