About This Book

A supply officer records daily experiences and impressions from the Gallipoli campaign, combining blunt operational detail about logistics and the Army Service Corps with personal reflections and sensory descriptions of the peninsula. Entries recount the landing and sustained fighting, the mechanics of keeping troops fed and supplied, and the impact of sickness and censorship on those serving. Edited and pared for publication, the diary emphasizes day-to-day labor, small moments of landscape and comradeship, and pragmatic observations rather than sweeping strategic judgments.
