1-242300

Re-examines and reconstructs the April 25, 1915 Anzac Landing at Gallipoli by analyzing the aggregate experience of a single, first-wave battalion over a single day, primarily through the investigation of veterans' letters and diaries, to create a body of evidence with which to construct a history of the battle. This is not an exclusive Australian story - for example, one third of the battalion examined were born in the British Isles. Contains 33 b/w photos, 12 b/w maps.
