Comments: An encyclopedia about the Australians in the 1915 Dardanelles Campaign.

With over 1,000 entries covering the people, places and battles of the Gallipoli campaign; with maps and several hundred photos, this is an essential reference for students of Australian military history.

The entries are all cross-referenced, thus enhancing the reader’s ability to gain a better understanding of this vital campaign. Among the 12 Appendices list are the orders of battle, and all gallantry awards made to Australians at Gallipoli.

In his Introduction, Peter Ainslie observed “At last we have a book which tells of many of the men who gave us our national heritage. It deserves to be in all Australian homes and certainly in every Australian library”.
