Beneath the Dardanelles
Author: Vecihi Basarin
Publisher: Allen & Unwin
ISBN: 174176596X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
In the Australian psyche, the Gallipoli campaign is the action on Gallipoli Peninsula. But an important addition to that land campaign was the part played by the Australian submarine HMAS AE2. The AE2 achieved a daring passage through the Dardanelles on 25 April 1915 when Anzac troops were landing on the other side at Anzac Cove. The Royal and French navies' previous attempts at passage had ended in disaster. AE2's mission to 'run amuck' ended after five days in the Sea of Marmara when it was caught by the Turkish Sultanhisar torpedo boat. After being holed, AE2's captain Stoker scuttled the submarine and its crew were saved by Sultanhisar's captain, Ali Riza. Beneath the Dardanelles tells AE2's story from both the Australian and Turkish perspectives, and features extracts from the memoirs of the two captains. Rarely in military books are both sides of a battle presented so evenly. The submarine lay undiscovered on the bottom of the sea until 1998 and awaits its destiny as the largest historical Australian relic of the Gallipoli campaign. The future of AE2 will be newsworthy for years to come and this book makes an important contribution to that story.

From Dartmouth to the Dardanelles: A Midshipman's Log
Author: Wolston B. C. W. Forester
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
This story has been assembled from a record written by Wolston B. C. W. Forester during a short span of sick leave in December 1915. From Dartmouth to the Dardanelles: A Midshipman's Log by Wolston B. C. W. Forester was edited by his mother, Elspeth Lascelles Forester. It was initially planned only for personal reading for the close ones, but all those who read it urged her to put it into print. The foreword by his mother states, "these pages make no claim to literary merit seems almost superfluous, since they are simply a boy's story of ten months of the Great War as he saw it. In deference to the said tradition the names of officers and ships concerned have been suppressed—those of the midshipmen mentioned are all fictitious."

Ashmead-Bartlett’s Despatches From The Dardanelles
Author: Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1786256878
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Published during the Great War, this book by Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett (1881-1931), a British war correspondent during the First World War, covers the preparations for the assault on Gallipoli, the naval Battle of the Dardanelles, the landings at ANZAC and Cape Helles and the battles for Krithia, Achi Baba and the heights of ANZAC from March to July 1915. Through his reporting of the Battle of Gallipoli, Ashmead-Bartlett was instrumental in the birth of the Anzac legend, which still dominates military history in Australia and New Zealand. Outspoken in his criticism of the conduct of the campaign, he was instrumental in bringing about the dismissal of the British commander-in-chief, Sir Ian Hamilton—an event that led to the evacuation of British forces from the Gallipoli peninsula.
