Sobre aquest audiollibre
The Gallipoli Campaign stands out as a landmark in the history of the First World War, and it was perhaps the most controversial action; it certainly ended in tragedy. Joseph Murray was among the 400,000 British and Commonwealth troops taking part, and he served as a naval rating turned soldier in Hood Battalion of the Royal Naval Division. Gallipoli 1915 is based on a diary he kept at the time and his later letters home.
The Battle of Gallipoli was a war of nerves, largely played out underground in the tunnels constantly being built by either side. Joseph Murray's unflinching and compelling account gives us an insight into the daily life of a First World War soldier, as well as providing an eye-witness report of the horrors and tragedy of the conflict.

Sobre l'autor
In 1914, Joseph Murray was a miner in County Durham, north-east England. When World War I broke out, he joined the Royal Navy and after initial training, joined Anson Battalion and landed at Gallipoli in May 1915. His experience as a miner proved invaluable and he was transferred to the Divisional Engineers as a tunneller where he dug tunnels for the infantry and deposited landmines beneath the Turkish trenches.
Joseph's first-hand account of the campaign at Gallipoli is a rare and valuable insight into the life of the common soldier, and he bore witness to the appalling conditions and incredible bravery of the men.
