Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Hardcover. Captain Albert Mure, a company commander in the 5th Battalion The Royal Scots, spent forty-three days in Gallipoli - far longer than many men who fought there would survive. In those few weeks, this brave, stoical officer was reduced from a fit, determined leader of men to a physical and mental wreck. In simple and honest language, Mure conveys the drama of the first landings, knowing that very shortly afterwards he and his men would be ashore and experiencing the same fate; his sympathy for those under his command is clear. Although suffering from shell shock, when the time came for him to leave the peninsular, he nevertheless felt like a deserter, remarking that, 'you can carry a no-longer-fit soldier's body out of the firing-line, but not his soul.' Originally published in 1919, Mure's story of his experiences at Gallipoli is full of a rawness and immediacy that I believe makes it worthy of a place amongst the many Great War memoirs. AUTHOR: Richard van Emden has interviewed over 270 veterans of the Great War and has written widely on the 1914-18 conflict. Previous books include 'Britain's Last Tommies', 'Boy Soldiers of the Great War', 'All Quiet on the Home Front', 'Prisoners of the Kaiser' and the top five best-selling 'The Trench'. He has visited the Somme and Ypres every year since 1985 and has an expert knowledge of the First World War battlefields. SELLING POINTS: . Second in the Van Emden Collection, a series of WW1 diaries published during or shortly after the Great War but are now long forgotten . Each title had a very limited print run, in some cases just fifty or 100 copies, so very rare . Richard has selected the best examples he has found in his 25 years of searching archives . Publicity guaranteed as the stories are unique and will have huge appeal . Richard is the best-selling Great War author of all time, regularly features on TV, Radio and in the national press and is The One Show's resident Great War expert Second in the Van Emden Collection, a series of WW1 diaries published during or shortly after the Great War but are now long forgotten.
