Description
The Dardanelles campaign remains one of the most infamous episodes of World War I. This account by Gerald B. Hurst offers a rare and candid perspective on the events that unfolded in 1915, as the 7th Battalion of the Manchester Regiment fought alongside other Allied forces. The book provides an invaluable insight into the battles around Cape Helles, trench warfare at Gallipoli, and the evacuation of the peninsula. The author's focus on a typical Territorial Army battalion offers a unique perspective on the experiences of ordinary soldiers during this pivotal moment in history. Hurst's account covers not only the disastrous campaign but also the unit's 'revival' and deployment in Egypt towards the end of the war, providing a comprehensive narrative of the Dardanelles fighting.
