Night Fire & Scorching Sun in Gallipoli, by John Cropton | August - September 1915 | Episode 98
Published on 6 September 1915
The author of this episode remarks: "Gallipoli was not a pleasant place in 1915." Yet in spite of the miseries they endured - the continuous sniping, the grilling heat, the plague of insects and the scourge of dysentery - the men who served in this arduous campaign were, as Mr. Cropton says, "determined to remain cheerful to the end."
In contrast to other episodes which have dealt with the fierce carnage of hand-to-hand fighting, this one is a record of quiet endurance between battles.
