Gallipoli was a First World War tragedy, a side show that had
ambitious hopes to end the war early. Despite the immense gallantry
displayed by those fighting, from the beginning, this grand scale
1915 operation was plagued with mismanagement; failure in high
places that betrayed the heroism in the field. Though a noble
disaster with casualties of over half a million, those who visit
Gallipoli today owe it to those who served and died a conscious
effort to see beyond the heartbreak and futility, to appreciate the
what, the how and the why. There is no better way to do this today
other than walking the battlefields with this invaluable guide.
From the beaches and fields of Helles, to the precipitous heights
of Anzac and to the plains of Suvla, this book guides the walker to
the key points of the campaign. Infamous names that are synonymous
with the fighting are covered; Sedd-el Bahr, Krithia, Achi Baba,
The Vineyard, Gully Ravine, Kereviz Dere, Lone Pine, The Nek,
Chunuk Bair, Lala Baba, Chocolate Hill, Kidney Hill and Kiretch
Tepe. All of these features are set in a haunting scene of beauty
and tragedy that still pervades this eastern Mediterranean
peninsula.In total there are ten walks, some challenging, others
not, with a narrative that helps make sense of it all.
