Gallipoli: A Guide to New Zealand Battlefields and Memorials –
Ian McGibbon
Gallipoli is one of
the most significant sites in the story of New Zealand’s First World War – a
symbol of great sacrifice and camaraderie, and the heart of ongoing Anzac
commemorations.
This is the indispensable
handbook to the history and geographic features of the campaign for a modern,
general readership.
Easy-to-follow and
highly illustrated, it introduces the battlefields, cemeteries and memorials,
detailing the stories behind each and offering historical overviews of New
Zealand’s involvement.
