On Land and Sea at the Dardanelles

On Land And Sea At The Dardanelles is a book written by Thomas Charles Bridges, an Australian journalist who served as a war correspondent during the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I. The book is a first-hand account of Bridges' experiences covering the campaign, which took place in the Dardanelles Strait in Turkey in 1915. The book covers the military strategy and tactics employed by the British and Allied forces, as well as the harsh living conditions and dangers faced by the soldiers on both sides of the conflict. Bridges also provides insights into the cultural and social aspects of the region, including the local Turkish population and their customs. The book is a valuable historical document, offering a vivid and personal perspective on one of the most significant military campaigns of the 20th century.It was the darkness that foiled him--this and the eel-like struggles of his adversary. At last, in desperation, he let go with his right hand, and drove his fist at the other's head. He missed his face, but hit him somewhere, for he heard his skull rap on the floor, while the knife flew out of his hand, and tinkled away across the cement floor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
