About this listen

The Gallipoli Campaign stands out as a landmark in the history of the First World War, and it was perhaps the most controversial action; it certainly ended in tragedy.

Joseph Murray was among the 400,000 British and Commonwealth troops taking part, and he served as a naval rating turned soldier in Hood Battalion of the Royal Naval Division. Gallipoli 1915 is based on a diary he kept at the time and his later letters home.

The Battle of Gallipoli was a war of nerves, largely played out underground in the tunnels constantly being built by either side.

Joseph Murray's unflinching and compelling account gives us an insight into the daily life of a First World War soldier and provides an eye-witness report of the horrors and tragedy of the conflict.

Should Be in the WW1 Category

A harrowing experience of an infantryman on Cape Helles in the Galipoli campaign. Part way through the campaign after stalemate sets in his experience as a miner is called upon and he has to begin mining and countermining operations against the enemy. It would have been helpful if this book was in the "World War 1" category, I only found it through searching the keyword "Galipoli." Had it been in the correct category I would have found it much sooner. I am aware WW1 is an obscure topic but this should be in there as there are not too many titles on Audible on that subject. The reader is clear and does a good job at portraying the feelings of the author.
