This plan shows the trenches at Lone Pine in late August 1915 and their connection to the position known as “the Pimple”. This copy of the plan has the Australian trenches drawn in black ink. Annotations have been done in pencil, including new trenches and communication saps, along with general corrections. The features drawn in black ink are correct to November 1915. However, the pencilled amendments and corrections may be from a later date. The plan was drawn by Sapper John Stevenson. Stevenson arrived on Gallipoli on 22 June 1915 as part of the 3rd Field Company Engineers. On his second day at ANZAC he felt sick and was evacuated to Egypt with a pain in his left lung and a high temperature. After four weeks recuperating, he returned to ANZAC on 25 July.
