Full Description
The Turkish Front in World War I was an historically important campaign as the destruction of the Ottomon Empire led to the political turmoil of the Middle East that has come about since. But it also had a big emotional pull. This book contains extracts from the letters, diaries and other papers of those involved. Casualties were high, both in action and from disease. There were many examples of great courage and endurance, and some instances of a significant lack of these qualities. Heights of incompetence at the higher levels were seen at Sulva Bay and in some actions in Mesopotamia. The accounts provide a stark reminder of what the soldiers endured.
