Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from At Suvla Bay I made my way to the Marylebone recruiting office, and after waiting about for hours, I went at last upstairs and stripped out with a lot of other men for the medical examination. The smell of human sweat was overpowering in the little ante-room. Some of the men had hearts and anchors and ships and dancing-girls tattooed in blue on their Chests and arms. Some were Skinny and others too fat. Very few looked' fit. I remarked upon the shyness they suffered in walking about naked.

Download or read book Suvla Bay And After Illustrated Edition written by Juvenis (Pseud.) and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.”

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XV EARLY DAYS AT ANZAC The position at Anzac is best described as a bite out of a biscuit. It was a rough semi-circle, the seashore forming the diameter and the trenches the circumference, while no part of the firing-line was much more than a mile from the beach, and on the right and left the flank trenches reached right down to the sea. The whole area was something under 700 acres. On the right, the trenches ran from low ground by the beach, gradually ascending till at Quinn's Post and Pope's Hill they must have been 300 feet above the sea. Working round to the left, the ground was higher still, culminating in Walker's Ridge--the most commanding feature of the position, whence a magnificent view could be obtained. Looking to the north, across the low scrubcovered hills, the village of Anafarta could be seen, its tall white mosque standing out conspicuously: beyond were the "W" hills and Suvla Ridge. Near the sea, the country was flatter and more open, and only a few hundred yards outside our lines were fields of poppies, whose brilliant scarlet added a pleasing splash of colour to the landscape. To the west, across the sea, lay the islands of Imbros and Samothrace. The sun used to set behind Samothrace with all the glory for which sunsets in the iEgean Sea are famous. The view from Walker's Ridge at sundown on a fine day was hard to beat: its peaceful beauty ought never to have been disturbed by the din of battle. Anzac would have been a splendid holiday resort in happier times, with its grand climate in the early summer months: fine golf links could be laid out along the stretch between the old position and Suvla Bay; there is good sea-fishing, too; and those rugged hills must surely contain some kinds of game, while the...
Download or read book Gallipoli written by Alan Moorehead and published by Wordsworth Editions. This book was released on 1997 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is Jones's account of his part in British Scientific Intelligence between 1939 and 1949. It was his responsibility to anticipate German applications of science to warfare, so that their new weapons could be countered before they were used. Much of his work had to do with radio navigation, as in the Battle of the Beams, with radar, as in the Allied Bomber Offensive and in the preparations for D-Day and in the war at sea. He was also in charge of intelligence against the V-1 (flying bomb) and the V-2 (rocket) retaliation weapons and, although the Germans were some distance behind from success, against their nuclear developments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dr. Latimer a Story of Casco Bay There was excitement in the house of Norman, one spring. Most women, when they have an absorbing interest, have also a sister-woman with whom to discuss it in all its aspects; but Miss Charlotte Norman was denied this piquant social sauce. Her younger sister and nephew, with whom - and it might be added for whom - she lived, were both unavailable and unsatisfactory as receptacles for her confidences. Miss Agnes Nor-man was too preoccupied during the few waking hours she spent at home to return more than an abstracted "Indeed?" to Charlotte's information, and Dickie, being but six years of age, could not be expected to enter into and comprehend his aunt's outraged sensibilities. The disturbing fact was that certain parties had had the audacity to put up a very unattractive two-story flat-building directly across the street from the old Norman homestead.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Destiny Bay The boy with him wore a suit of tweeds that a woman might have made for a man, and that a woman probably did make for him; But barring that you noticed that they were too big for him and horribly cut, you noticed little beyond his face. It was a girl's face, brown, soft, unmarred by beard of any kind. And on the face was an expression of fear and haughtiness it would be impossible to analyse. Brown eyes lighter than the brown of the face looked at you challengingly, telling you to stay where you were. I don't think the rudest person in the world would have laughed at his clothes with that deadly look in his eye. He would have been, without seeing his teeth, Sixteen or seven teen years old.

Download or read book The Diary of a Yeomanry M O written by O. Teichman and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diary of a Yeomanry M. O: Egypt, Gallipoli, Palestine and Italy Throughout the late war, the author of this book kept a diary, often under considerable difficulties and on odd scraps of paper, owing to the order which forbade the taking of diaries into the front line: occasionally these had to be written in cipher or destroyed when there seemed a possibility of the writer being captured. Apology is made for the apparently trivial incidents of the daily routine during the quiet periods, which are retained in the text in order to make the narrative continuous. Owing to the first year's diary having been lost, this period, which contained little of interest, has been covered by a brief synopsis. The narrative does not pretend to be in any way a full or accurate account of current events, being merely the experiences of the writer and his deductions, the latter often proving erroneous when subsequent facts became known at a later date. If it should prove of some slight interest to those members of Mounted Units and Medical Officers who took part in the campaign, the time spent daily in compiling it will not have been in vain. A chapter has been added on the last phase of the war in Italy, where the writer had the good fortune to accompany the Twenty-second Infantry Brigade which captured the Island of Papadopoli (Piave). Acknowledgment is made to the official Dispatches, official intelligence, and to extracts and maps from The Times Weekly Edition).
