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.

Transcriber's Notes

Obvious punctuation errors repaired.

The List of Illustrations do not match the captions in three cases:
The illustration "Facing p. 82" is listed as "AUSTRALIANS AT THE SUEZ CANAL", but the actual caption is "AUSTRALIANS MANNING A COMMUNICATION TRENCH LEADING TO ISMAILIA FERRY POST." Similarly, the illustrations "Facing p. 96" are given as "AUSTRALIANS LEAVING FOR THE FRONT" and "BRIGADIER-GENERALS M'CAY AND MACLAGAN", but the captions are "MARCHING ORDERS FOR THE FRONT" and "LEADERS AT THE LANDING."

Illustrations which are opposite p. 210 in the original are marked as "To face p. 218."

Variable spelling of proper names has been retained as in the original.
