Description

Through the extraordinary events of the ANZAC invasion of Turkey's Gallipoli Peninsula, Gerald Gibson was an eyewitness to a military event that has been commemorated in Australia for nearly 100 years. His diary challenges several long-held beliefs but, more importantly, paints a dramatic picture of life at an event that has emerged as one of the defining moments in Australia's history.
