In April 1915 a military landing was carried out by the Allies on the Gallipoli Peninsula which forms the northern shore of the Dardanelles.
The resultant attempts to hold and extend the area won in this landing were a failure - one of the classic failures of military history, and at the turn of the year the peninsula was evacuated.
Yet the Gallipoli campaign was of lasting significance.
Book concentrates on the experience of the men who faced extended limits of physical and emotional endurance.
A whole archive of hitherto undiscovered personal documentation was built to serve as the main source for the book, and drawing upon this rich store of diaries and letters together with supporting recollections the author has endeavoured to bring alive the reality of service in the Eastern Mediterranean during the campaign.
