Would it be OK for me to contribute an excerpt from "Gallipoli" by John Masefield (publ. 1916):
https://www.gutenberg.org/files/53682/53682-h/53682-h.htm
Masefield's book describes the unsuccessful 1915 allied campaign against the Ottomans, its object being to gain control of the Dardenelles - the shipping route to Russia. The extract concerns the digging of trenches for concealment and protection for those attacking the heights of the Gallipoli Peninsula. The soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) came to be known as “Diggers”.
Would the folllowing intro and outro be OK?

It is about a thousand words. I would like to read it in honour of my grandfather, Signaller Teddy Lloyd, who was a "runner" at Gallipoli.
Best,
