November 1915
This daily episode tells the story of the Dardanelles and Gallipoli campaign by those who were there, the men themselves. Using a rich selection of diaries, letters and books, some published before, some not, we sought to use these snippets to help describe what happened that day in 1915/16.
Many thanks goes to historians Peter Hart and Stephen Chambers whose ongoing passion for the campaign helps keep the memory alive. If you have any comments or suggestions, or wish to add further entries please email [email protected]
