I left the office of The Scout, 28 Maiden Lane, W.C., on September 8th, 1914, took leave of the editor and the staff, said farewell to my little camp in the beech-woods of Buckinghamshire and to my woodcraft scouts, bade good-bye to my father, and went off to enlist in the Royal Army Medical Corps.

At Suvla Bay is a historical book written by John Hargrave. The book is a first-hand account of the author's experiences during the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I. The campaign was a military operation by the Allied forces to gain control of the Dardanelles Strait, which would have allowed them to open up a sea route to Russia.

He also describes the camaraderie and spirit of the soldiers, and the bravery and sacrifices that they made during the campaign.
