"TRENCHING AT GALLIPOLI"—IN THE LAND OF THE TURKS
Adventures of a Newfoundlander
Told by John Gallishaw, Member of the First Newfoundland Regiment
This is the personal narrative of a loyal Newfoundlander soldiering in the disastrous Dardanelles campaign. This is an adventurous story stranger than fiction; as well as a reliable account by an unusually keen participant of the gigantic failure at Gallipoli. Mr. Gallishaw was a student at Harvard when the War began and he gives an extraordinarily vivid impression of trench fighting and trench living. He tells how seven weeks after the outbreak of the War, the Newfoundlanders joined the flotilla containing the first contingent of Canadians. He was on garrison duty for a time at Edinburgh Castle in Scotland and then sent to Egypt. His book: "Trenching in Gallipoli" is published by the Century Company, Copyright 1916, with whose permission the following stories are taken.
