What is GALLIPOLI 1915. about?

Gallipoli 1915 presents a new look at the old legend of Anzac - an account of how ordinary blokes from any different countries coped in extraordinary circumstances not only in battle but back in the trenches. These men, whose 'fingers were too frozen to pull the trigger', buried their best mates, slept in holes in the ground and struggled with lice infested clothes. This book presents a remarkable and absorbing series of photographs from Australia's major archival collections, many previously unseen. These images often taken by the soldiers themselves, combined with illustrations created for the newspapers, were the images responsible for creating the public memory of Gallipoli back in Australia. The photographs are brought to life by the commentary of historian, Dr Richard Reid of the Department of Veterans' Affairs. Apart from the images, moving extracts from soldiers letters and diaries, along with the official dispatches of war correspondents present at Gallipoli, paint an unforgettable record of the sacrifices, courage and determination embodied in the Anzac story.
