Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Slight creasing to front cover. Faint mark on top right foredge.

A collection of writing from authors who were at Gallipoli and wrote fiction or journalism specifically about the events, feelings and characters they experienced during the campaign. There are stories about enlistment and mateship, the landing, the May and August offensives, the evacuation and homecoming. There are poignant stories of men visiting their dead mates' mothers on arrival home, and first-hand, exciting accounts of the major battles, humorous character sketches and plenty of dry Aussie humour.
