A combatant gives a vivid firsthand account of the Dardanelles expedition, chronicling embarkation, night approaches and surprise landings, and the daily realities of trench warfare on the peninsula. Chapters move from the voyage ashore and the initial struggle to establish positions to descriptions of working and living in trenches and dugouts, the strain of long waits and patrols across no man's land, scenes of wounded men and casualty care, and the final return home, with photographs and sketches interspersed to illustrate conditions and routines.
