42nd Regiment Gallipoli 1915 - Paperback

by Ahmet Diriker (Author)

This book tells the true story of the Turkish 42nd Regiment in the Battle of Gallipoli of 1915. Positioned at Kerevizdere (Kereves Dere) in the Seddulbahir area of Gallipoli, the regiment fought against the French Expeditionary Corps of the Orient. Based on primary sources such as war diaries of troops, maps and reports, which have hitherto remained largely unpublished in Turkish and French archives, the book offers a unique insight into what was happening on the Turkish and French sides of the trenches at the same time.
