I Was There! Chapter 9 commences 'Gallipoli Bombardment and Landing'

12 November 2024

Our work on the 'I Was There!' series of magazines continues, with a brand new 'chapter' having been commenced as 'Playlist number 9' on YouTube. These accounts are readings of the originals - supported by images - which are published as videos. 

Playlist 9 is a relatively short chapter dealing with the bombardment and landings at Gallipoli between 17 March and 27 April 1915. 

The Playlist commences with an account entitled 'My Last Hours in the Irresistible' followed by 'Through Death Valley with the ANZACs'.
