General

 A big charge was made at Cape Helles.  Prior to the charge Ernek Janssen was seen to be well and bright and was hopeful of getting through all right.  After the attack, he couldn't be found.  Two days later his body was found and he was buried by Private H Ennor and two others of the Battalion.
