Poignant, terrible and humorous recollections told by six Gallipoli veterans.
In 1981, Steve Sailah interviewed 6 Australians who, as young men, took part in a young nation's first major military campaign at Gallipoli in 1915. These original ANZACS have since passed on but they have left us their stories told when their memories were still fresh. Their recollections are candid, conversational and illustrate the thinking and idiom of the day. This is not just a valuable social history but manages to succinctly convey the Gallipoli experience.
