Book Of Gallipoli 1915: A Stunning Story Of Heroism And Sacrifice (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798796124291)

The Gallipoli campaign was a military campaign in the First World War that took place on the Gallipoli peninsula, from 17 February 1915 to 9 January 1916. The Entente powers, Britain, France, and Russia, sought to weaken the Ottoman Empire, one of the Central Powers, by taking control of the Turkish straits.
But thanks to the military incompetence of the higher commands, it ended in tragedy and unimaginable suffering, as the battle turned into a war of nerves largely played out in the hellish setting of the tunnels constantly being built by either side. The human cost was vast, with more than 50,000 Allied soldiers losing their lives, and it became known as the most controversial action of the war.
The author was one of the 400,000 British and Empire troops who took part and along with his comrades from the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, showed extraordinary heroism and courage in the face of terrible hardship and danger.
