About This Book
A vivid narrative documents Australasian military involvement in the early stages of the Great War, combining eyewitness hospital interviews, photographs, and campaign reports to trace training, embarkation, Egyptian staging, the Gallipoli landings and subsequent fighting at key positions such as Krithia, Quinn's Post and Lone Pine. It emphasizes collective courage and modesty among volunteers, records specific actions including mounted and naval contributions, lists honors awarded, and reflects on evacuation and wider imperial responses, while offering tributes to opponents and practical details of units, logistics, and the soldiers' character.
