The landings on the Gallipoli Peninsula on 25 April 1915 represented the greatest amphibious operation carried out during World War I. This book tells the story of the 39 men whose bravery on the battlefield was rewarded by the Victoria Cross - the highest military honour - among them the war's first Australian VC, the first New Zealand VC, and first Royal Marine VC. Although the total is far smaller than the number awarded on the Western Front, it represents the highest number of VCs won in any other theatre of war. The accounts of those awarded the VC, gleaned from diaries, letters and contemporary reports written by recipients or eyewitnesses, are arranged chronologically, so offering a new perspective on the course of the campaign. The book is also illustrated with over 100 paintings, photographs and sketches.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. Some very minor creasing to the wraps. Snelling uses the Gallipoli landings of 25 April 1915 as the anchor for a wider account of the campaign, but the heart of the book is the individual soldiers whose bravery earned the Empire's highest award for gallantry. Their stories span the entire operation?from the initial landings through the grinding months of trench warfare to the final evacuation. The narrative shows how the VC actions illuminate the wider failures and heroism of the campaign, including the first Australian, New Zealand, and Royal Marine VCs of the war.
