Sir Ian Hamilton's Despatches from the Dardanelles, etc.

A series of official despatches and accompanying documents recounts a military campaign to force a strategic strait, combining detailed narrative of amphibious landings, brigade-level advances, counterattacks, and entrenchments with maps and illustrative material. The volume includes operational reports, press-bureau statements, and a commanding officer's assessments of logistics, artillery support, ammunition shortages, and command decisions. Descriptions of battlefield movements, units' gains and withdrawals, and casualty effects are presented alongside maps and portraits to clarify positions and personnel. An introductory essay offers a senior military perspective, while appended dispatches from naval and subordinate commanders supplement the record.
