The Turkish Attack on Dead Man's Ridge.

The author, a New Zealand sapper who remains anonymous, took part in the Anzac landing on April 25. He continues the story of the Gallipoli campaign to the third day, when the Turks made the most determined effort to drive the British into the sea. It is a ghastly but memorable account of one of the fiercest days of fighting of the whole Great War.
