  • Description

This is a truly fascinating little book which came into our personal collection, the seller had found no other copies listed. Originally published in 1921 or 22 by Dirmikis and Sons and English bookseller in Constantinople and printed in Germany. The author arrived on the peninsula during the preparations for the battle of Gully Ravine. During this action at the end of June the Border regiment managed to capture the key Boomerang Redoubt located in the Saghir Dere (Gully Ravine), this secured the left flank of the main attack along Gully Spur later in the action. The Border Regiment lost over 250 casualties in the action including many of their officers.. He moved to Suvla in August and was evacuated sick from the peninsula on the 31st of August.The book provides a snapshot of the day to day life on the peninsula over four months.
