At Suvla Bay (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162653921)

At Suvla Bay is a historical book written by John Hargrave. The book is a first-hand account of the author's experiences during the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I. The campaign was a military operation by the Allied forces to gain control of the Dardanelles Strait, which would have allowed them to open up a sea route to Russia. The book describes the author's experiences as a soldier in the British Army, and his involvement in the battle of Suvla Bay, which was a key battle during the campaign. The author provides a detailed account of the conditions faced by the soldiers, including the harsh terrain, the extreme weather, and the constant threat of enemy fire. He also describes the camaraderie and spirit of the soldiers, and the bravery and sacrifices that they made during the campaign. The book is a compelling and insightful account of one of the most significant military campaigns of the 20th century, and provides a unique perspective on the experiences of the soldiers who fought in it.He lay flat under a huge rock. I left the stretcher-squads, and, crawling behind a bush, looked through the glasses. It certainly was a Turk, and his position was one of hiding. He kept perfectly motionless on his stomach and his rifle lay by his side.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
