ABC Abridged Libary Collection: Frontline Gallipoli: Readings From C.E.W. Bean's War Diaries - Cassette

2 Cassettes, Abridged.
Read by Hank Nelson.

Probably no person saw more of the ANZACs in battle at Gallipoli than did C.E.W. Bean. After sailing with the first convoy, he landed with them on that fateful first morning of 25th April and remained at Gallipoli until the evacuation.

Night after night he sat in his tiny dugout and wrote in his diary all that he had seen and done. Its pages flow with powerful descriptions of the battle, touching eulogies to the common soldier and scathing criticisms of senior officers whose mistakes cost men their lives.
