About this Digital Edition


To the friendship of the Australian and Turkish peoples.

This digital edition has been created by Umut Akçelik, to make the book freely accessible to anyone interested in the Gallipoli story from both Australian and Turkish perspectives. The text has been carefully transcribed from the original publication and formatted for comfortable reading on any device.
