Gallipoli : the New Zealand story

Gallipoli: The New Zealand Story is an account of the New Zealand Armed Forces in the First World War's Gallipoli campaign, from February 1915 to January 1916. In order to tell the story, the author draws heavily on sources written by New Zealand soldiers who were present during the campaign. It is the story of the men who fought and died during Gallipoli and the national remembrance throughout the years in New Zealand, as well as telling the story of the rise of New Zealand's national conciousness, forged during the fighting. Pugsley has included diary extracts, letters and photographs from Gallipoli to give the book an almost first-person, diary-like feel. However, there are still segments of narrative such as descriptions of battles like Chunuck Bair and Hill 60. The book makes extensive use of black and white photography and has a large and detailed appendix section where Pugsley lists his sources in detail.
