About This Book

A first-person account recounts the author's experiences commanding a Jewish mule corps during the Dardanelles campaign, combining frontline memoir, military analysis, and camp-life observation. It traces the unit's formation, embarkation to Lemnos, and landing operations on southern Gallipoli, followed by descriptions of battles, trench warfare, bombardments, and the impact of submarines. Interlaced are sketches of daily duties, visits to the trenches, cooperation with Australian and New Zealand troops, a spell in Egypt for recruiting and refit, and the final evacuation. Throughout the narrative the author offers tactical critique, practical anecdotes, and reflections on discipline, morale, and the corps' contribution.
