Produktbeschreibung

Written in 1915 while leading the 1/5th Manchester Regiment, Colonel Sir Henry Darlington's letters from Gallipoli are a commanding officer's firsthand account of leadership and endurance at Helles.

Long considered one of the most valuable firsthand accounts of the Gallipoli campaign, original copies have become increasingly scarce since the publisher's remaining stock was destroyed during the London Blitz in December 1940.

In this new and expanded edition, the editors, facilitated by the author's grandson, Hugh Darlington, have supplemented the original text with an illustrated biography, detailed maps and appendices that provide rich context on the battalion's campaign.

The most valuable addition, however, is the wealth of previously unpublished photographs taken by the author himself. A keen photographer who carried his camera into the line at Gallipoli, these remarkable images from his personal album add a new dimension to a classic account.
