Anzac Day: War letters to home
This Sunday (April 25) marks the 106-year anniversary of the first landing of New Zealand and Australian soldiers at Anzac Cove on the Gallipoli Peninsula.
For many of the 16000 soldiers, April 25, 1915 marked their first day of combat.
And by that night, 2000 had been killed or maimed.
We remember our Auckland veterans with their letters to friends and loved ones back home.
Charles Tudor Brewer wrote to his father, Henry Brewer:

Dear Dad,
Owen met me when I arrived here.
Perhaps we may get him in my company, then we will be together.
I expect to leave for the front on Sunday.
Love to all,
Your affectionate son,
Charlie.
