About This Book

A correspondent recounts the raising, training, and deployment of Australasian forces and their operations during the Dardanelles campaign, following their journey from assembly and desert camps to landings at Anzac, Helles, and subsequent offensives. The narrative blends firsthand observation, soldiers' testimony, maps, and photographs to describe daily life in camp and the trenches, combat engagements such as the August offensive, and the comradeship, courage, and losses experienced by the troops. Records of orders, illustrations, and personal anecdotes frame themes of sacrifice, nationhood, and military effort.
