Historic landing on Gallipoli, April 25th-May 5th 1915 : Sir Ian Hamilton's dispatch : vivid details of the enormous undertaking : bravery to the death of officers and men engaged : magnificent story which every New Zealander must read
Description: "On the arrival of the English Mail, which brought the files of the London "Times" containing the full text of General Sir Ian Hamilton's Dispatch, describing the landing of the British and Oversea Expeditionary forces at Gallipoli on April 25th, 1915, and the ten following days, the suggestion was made to me that the Dispatch should be reprinted as a pamphlet so that it could be placed within reach of everyone in New Zealand, and in a form that could be kept and handed down to future generations as a record of the glorious ways in which New Zealanders underwent their baptism of fire, and took upon themselves their share in Britain's determination to dare all and endure all."--editorial note.
