AUSTRALIAN MILITARY World War I –
This is not a history, nor is it an individual soldier’s story. Rather Jim Haynes has done what he does so well, and that is pull together the many yarns and stories and verses written about Gallipoli to compile a collection that is full of poignancy, horror and sadness, as well as dry Aussie humour. This collection reminds us that Gallipoli was more than a military campaign. These are the stories and yarns (many of which have been forgotten) that give heart and soul to the legend.
