  • On 31 January 1916 The Ashburn Guardian reported a conversation with Sapper Tasker - "In conversation with a Guardian reporter, Private E. N. Tasker stated that there were no bad cases on the "Willochra”, and that most of the men (including himself) were recovering after fever. Each of his three comrades had had an attack of fever. The “Willochra” had left dock on Christmas Day, and had reached Port Chalmers at 6 o'clock on Saturday evening. On the return trip the wounded men had had a great reception at Albany, where they had been liberally supplied with fruit, cigarettes, and eggs by the townspeople. Private Tasker left with the Third Reinforcements, and joined the Main Body of the New Zealanders at Gallipoli on April 26. After seeing three months' active service on the Peninsula, he contracted typhoid fever, and was sent to St. Andrew's Hospital at Malta, where he remained for over two months before being sent back to Egypt. There were about 2000 cases in St. Andrew's Hospital at the time, besides a large number of wounded in other hospitals at Malta. Private Tasker spoke highly of the treatment the men had received there. Besides being well cared for, they had been entertained once a week by concert parties. Some of the entertainers had been sent there by the War Office, while other entertainments had been organised by local residents. A great number of the men admitted to the hospitals had been suffering from fever, mumps, rheumatics, or frost-bite. As the winter advanced, the frost-bite patients had been numerous, the men suffering more particularly in the feet. Private Tasker had heard very little about the evacuation of Gallipoli. He knew that a number of Australians and New Zealanders had arrived back in Egypt, and, from what he could learn, it was intended that they should remain there until after the winter. The spell was badly needed, as some of the men were physical wrecks, the severity of the winter having shaken them up badly. When he left Gallipoli it had been quite cold enough, and he did not envy those who had had to endure hardships there in winter. It had been reported in Egypt that during the evacuation 12 of the English 6-inch guns had been taken by the Turks. It was common knowledge that practically all the stores had been left behind. Some had been piled up and burnt, and others had been shelled by the warships after the troops had left the Peninsula.
    When Private Tasker boarded the “Willochra” there were close on 100,000 horses in Egypt, including British cavalry and Indian transport horses. The New Zealand horses were looking exceptionally well. The equines were exercised daily by niggers. Special precautions were taken to guard the Canal, and a strong body of Indian troops was also in the vicinity. He met the Eighth Reinforcements at Zeitoun camp, and the Ninth at Albany."
  • By 2 February 1916 Ernest had earned the name BULLETT PROOF - ""They call that, chap over there' bullet, proof," remarked one of the soldiers, pointing to Private E. N. Tasker of Ashburn a member of the Third Reinforcements. During the six months' service upon the Gallipoli Peninsula, right from the day of the landing until be "cracked up” with enteric on October 8, Private Tasker led a charmed life. His clothes were absolutely peppered with bullets, but he sustained no injury"- Fielding Star.
