Synopsis: Includes Gallipoli Campaign Map and Illustrations Pack -71 photos and 31 maps of the campaign spanning the entire period of hostilities.A moving and wittily written account of an officer of the 5th Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers of the 10 (Irish Division) during their heroic but futile campaign on the Gallipoli Peninsula. He landed with his men of 'D' company into the storm of shot, shell and death at Suvla Bay and fought hard against the elements and the Turks. He was wounded in August 1915 and evacuated to Lemnos and thence back to England, where he wrote his recollections during his convalescence. As acclaimed expert Cyril Falls wrote of Juvenis' "...book is far ahead of the majority of disjointed accounts of warfare which appeared in those in those early days and has literary merit."
