Q. What did the Anzacs do for relaxation?
A. Work went on in the trenches 24 hours per day, so there was little time for relaxation. Even when in the "rest areas" at Gallipoli, men were constantly being called on to carry out various work tasks. Relaxation was generally very simple - men read and wrote letters, read books and newspapers from home, played cards, dominoes or two-up, sat around and talked, or tried to catch up on their sleep. Gambling was strictly forbidden and any man caught gambling could expect to face military discipline.
