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. 1998 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 940.459(931)

The defence of the Dardanelles : from bombards to battleships /Michael Forrest "On 18 March 1915 a powerful fleet of British and French warships attempted to overwhelm the shore defences of the Dardanelles to allow minesweepers to clear the straits. By bringing together many threads of information, including extracts from British intelligence sources that had previously determined that a naval attack alone would not succeed, this definitive work examines the flaws of Winston Churchill's strategy and identifies the inadequacies of pitting warships against shore fortifications."--Provided by the publisher. 2012 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 940.455(496.1)

Isles of Scilly in the Great War / Richard Larn OBE "The Isles of Scilly, five inhabited islands 24 miles west of Lands End, were of low priority to the War Department when the First World War was declared. With no manufacturing capability, no industry other than flower growing and agriculture, no electricity or gas, no mains water supply, no wireless station, and a population of only 2,000, the islands did have one feature in their favour their location. Sitting at the cross roads of six major shipping routes, Scilly had been a recognised ship-park since 1300AD, where sailing ships anchored to safetly awaiting a suitable wind, to re-victual, pick up water or effect repairs. The Admiralty sought to make it a harbour for the Channel Fleet in the mid-1800s, and in 1903 spent 25,000 defending the islands with 6-inch gun batteries, only to take them away seven years later. When, in 1915, German U-boats moved from the North Sea into the Western Approaches, sinking large numbers of merchant vessels, Scilly was chosen to become a Royal Navy Auxiliary Patrol Station, and over time was sent 20 armed trawlers and drifters as escorts, mine-sweepers, mine-layers or anti-submarine vessels, along with 500 Royal Navy personnel. In 1917 Tresco Island became a Royal Naval Air Station, with 14 flying boats and over 1,000 personnel. The islands were suddenly at the forefront of the submarine war. This book details Scilly's contribution to the war effort, with attention to its civilian population, the heartbreak of losing forty-five of its sons, and the trauma of countless seamen rescued from torpedoed ships."--Provided by the publisher. 2017. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 914.237"1914/1918"

The unseen Lusitania : the ship in rare illustrations /Eric Sauder. "Lost to a German torpedo on 7 May 1915, Cunard's RMS Lusitania captured the world's imagination when she entered service in 1907. Not only was she was the largest ship in the world, but she was also revolutionary in design as well as being a record breaker. Lusitania is now sadly remembered for her tragic destruction, sinking in eighteen minutes with the loss of around 1,200 souls. Through never-before-seen material, historian Eric Sauder brings RMS Lusitania to life once again. Filled with vivid, unseen photographs and illustrations from Eric's extensive private collection, this absorbing read will transport the reader back 100 years to a time when opulent Ships of State were the only way to cross the Atlantic."--Provided by the publisher. 2015. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 629.123LUSITANIA
