Gallipoli : braw laddies amidst the clash of the Empires /Stuart Delves.

"The name Gallipoli has a mournful echo in the memories of many nations - not least in Scotland's, for many brave young Scottish soldiers ended their lives there in appalling conditions in 1915. The names Cape Helles, Gully Ravine and Achi Baba Nullah have a sadder ring, as these were the places where scores of young men died, mowed down by machine gun fire of blown to bits by shells. Commemorative Services are being held across Lowland and Highland Scotland and eminent historian Sir Hew Strachan will be delivering a Lecture at the University of Stirling on Thursday 4th June 2015 - one hundred years after the Scottish Battalions arrived in Gallipoli."--Provided by the publisher.
