Gallipoli: The New Zealand Story by Christopher Pugsley - WWI History Book for Military Enthusiasts & Students - Perfect for Research, Education & Historical Reading

This sixth edition builds on a revision of New Zealand troop numbers at Gallipoli by scholars including the late Richard Stowers, David Green, John Crawford and Matthew Buck.

In his preface to the new edition, Pugsley notes the conclusion of this research is ‘that some 16,000–17,000 New Zealanders served on the Peninsula in the campaign, doubling the previously used official figure.’

In light of this and other new work, he has made extensive updates to the book, while retaining its engaging style and extensive photos.

Gallipoli: The New Zealand Story takes us to the campaign through the eyes of the soldiers — ordinary Kiwis whose memories speak through their letters and diaries.

Gallipoli: does justice to the reality of this pivotal campaign for New Zealand and provides the background story to Anzac Day.

The national memorial day marks the anniversary of the Gallipoli landings on 25 April 1915 by Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) troops.
