Trenching at Gallipoli - The Personal Narrative of a Newfoundlander with the Ill-Fated Dardanelles Expedition (Paperback)

A first hand account of the Dardanelle's expedition
This book, written by someone who experienced first hand the Gallipoli campaign, is inevitably important as a source work on one of the most notable events of the First World War and will interest all those fascinated by the 'sideshow' theatres of the conflict. It is doubly interesting since the author was a member of the First Newfoundlander Regiment. Readers should note that John Gallishaw, and one must assume his comrades also, did not consider Newfoundland to be simply a part of Canada but an entity apart. His book therefore offers a unique alternative to the more familiar British and Anzac accounts with which those interested in the period will be familiar. Gallishaw has left us an entertaining and immediate true story of the Great War, that benefits from a number of photographs, filled with dialogue and incident. Inevitably, despite all the comradeship and good humour, the book contains a darker side as war against the Ottoman Turkish Army is described in all its terrible detail.
