This volume is ex-Royal United Services Institution Library.  Original red cloth blocked in gilt on the spine. The covers are worn and the spine is badly damaged. The front cover is heavily scuffed and rubbed, with patchy discolouration, including fading to the cloth (particularly around the edges), some old stains, and noticeable variation in colour. There is a discoloured patch from the removal of a paper label, near the tail of the spine. The rear cover again has extensive discolouration, fading around around the edges, and some prominent old stains. There is also a discoloured patch  near the tail of the spine. The spine is very badly damaged and severely faded with total loss of original colour. Both spine gutters are split for their entire length but have been partially re-glued, though splits still remain. There is a prominent vertical crease down the spine, numerous horizontal creases, some lifting of the cloth in places and a tear in the cloth in the centre, with some loss of cloth. There is a discoloured patch from the removal of a paper label, near the tail of the spine. The cloth at the head and tail is very frayed, with multiple splits in the cloth and some loss. The corners are very heavily bumped, and also frayed, with the card exposed. There are a number of indentations along the edges of the boards, including a prominent bruise on the front bottom edge, and a forward spine lean. The images below give a good indication of the current poor state of the covers.   This volume is ex-Royal United Services Institution Library. There are remnants of a lending schedule along the outer margin of the front end-paper map, some pencilled markings, and an abraded patch in the bottom margin from the removal of a label (please see the final image below). There is a stamped number on the Title-Page but no other Library markings I can see though there are a number of pencilled markings in the margins, some of which are shown below.  The paper has tanned with age, though the text is generally reasonably clean. The front inner hinge is cracked at the Title-Page but has been strengthened with tape. There is some separation between the inner gatherings. The edge of the text block is grubby, dust-stained and lightly foxed. The corners are bruised and pushed inwards due to the heavy external bumping.

Military Operations : Gallipoli

Volume II (Text only) : May 1915 to the Evacuation

Preface

 

The first volume of this history dealt with the political events which led to the initiation of the Dardanelles campaign, the naval attacks in February and March, the landings of the Expeditionary Force in April and the fighting at Helles and Anzac during the first fortnight ashore. The present volume completes the story of the campaign, up to and including the final evacuation. In the compilation of this volume I have again had the invaluable assistance of Captain W. Miles, who has examined and tabulated with painstaking care the information available in the official war-diaries and the numberless messages and orders preserved in the Historical Section of the Committee of Imperial Defence. Captain Miles has also prepared this volume for the press. From all other members of the Historical Section I have received unstinted help and particularly from Mr. E. A. Dixon and Mr. F. C. Ballentyne. My thanks are also due to Mr. Walter B. Wood for his scholarly advice when reading the chapters in typescript. Major A. F. Becke has been indefatigable in the preparation of the maps and sketches which adorn the pages of the history. He has shown that a military sketch, displaying the movements of troops, can also be a work of art, and his maps and sketches of the Anzac area depict more clearly than the written word the extraordinary difficulties of the country that faced the Anzac corps. These maps and sketches have been drawn for reproduction by Mr. H. Burge. To Br.-General A. T. Beckwith, Captain T. Verschoyle and Mr. A. Riley I am indebted for many of the photographs which illustrate the text. In a letter to the press I asked for the loan of private correspondence and diaries relating to the Suvla landing. Many of the documents received in answer to this appeal were of great value and I take this opportunity of thanking all who so kindly placed their papers at my disposal. With the help of the British military attaché in Berlin I was fortunate enough to get into touch with Colonel Willmer, late of the Bavarian Army, who commanded the Turkish troops at Suvla, and to study the orders and messages received and issued by that officer at the time of the British landing at Suvla Bay. The friendly hospitality shown me by Colonel Willmer in his quiet home beside a Bavarian lake, where, over the maps on his library table, he modestly explained his own achievement during the fateful hours of the 6th-8th August 1915, will long be gratefully remembered. My thanks are also due to the German Reichsarchiv at Potsdam, and especially to Dr. A. Muhlmann, who served on the staff of Marshal Liman von Sanders in Gallipoli, for copies of many messages and reports written by our opponents in the course of the operations. Every effort has been made to ensure the complete accuracy of this history, but if any errors are noticed, it is asked that they may be brought to the attention of the Secretary, Historical Section, Committee of Imperial Defence, 2 Whitehall Gardens, S.W.1, with a view to their correction in a subsequent edition. C. F. A.-O. 1st October 1931.

Volume II (Text only) : May 1915 to the Evacuation

Excerpt:

 

CHAPTER II

May at Anzac (Sketch 1) The object of the Australian and New Zealand landing at Anzac had been to assist the main attack at Helles by a threat against the enemy communications. Owing to being carried a mile out of their course by an unexpectedly strong current, md to the excessively difficult country in which they eventually found themselves, the Australians were unable to gain their objective; and the end of the first week found the whole corps hemmed in by the Turks within 1,000 yards of the shore. Nevertheless, clinging with fine determination to the perilous foothold they had won, and keeping the enemy in constant expectation of attack, the Australian and New Zealand troops continued to render valuable assistance to their British comrades in the south throughout the critical month of May, and to fulfil the duty of a detachment by keeping from the main theatre a hostile force considerably larger than its own. Threatening the very heart of the Narrows defences, and forming a screen behind which further troops could land in comparative security, the Anzac corps would already seem to have been regarded by the Turkish High Command as a greater menace than the British and French divisions at Helles. The Anzac front line was in places less than five miles from the Turkish supply depot at Kilia Bay, and only a few hundred yards from positions on the main ridge whence the Narrows could be kept under observation and daylight traffic interrupted. Sir Ian Hamilton, as we have seen in the last chapter, was already considering the advantage of striking his main blow from Anzac Cove. But it was still too early to come to a definite decision; and for the moment—and in any case till Achi Baba had fallen—he determined that General Birdwood's corps must continue to act as a detaining force in the north. Throughout the month of May, therefore, the action of the Australians and New Zealanders was guided by the instructions issued by G.H.Q. to General Birdwood on the 1st May: Until you receive further instructions, no general advance is to be initiated by you. . . . But this is not to preclude any forward movements which may be usefully undertaken with a view to occupying such points as may facilitate your advance hereafter, and meanwhile compel the enemy to maintain a large force on your front. By this means you will relieve pressure on the troops in the southern portion of the peninsula, which is your present role. The minute fraction of the Gallipoli peninsula occupied by the Anzac corps at this period was roughly triangular in shape, with the base of the triangle extending for about miles along the coast, and its apex at Quinn's Post, a thousand yards from the sea. Of the two sides of the triangle facing the enemy, the southern and longer one stretched from the foot of Bolton's Ridge to Quinn's Post, a distance of some 2,500 yards. From Quinn's the northern and shorter side—1,200 yards long— turned west, and, after leap-frogging across the head of Monash Gully via Pope's Hill, ran down Walker's Ridge to the sea. The total area of the triangle was rather less than 400 acres, and but for its steep hillsides and tortuous ravines every inch of it would have been within rifle-shot of the enemy's trenches. The main Turkish positions in the Anzac zone at the beginning of May were on Gun and Mortar Ridges and on the high ground overlooking the upper end of Monash Gully. But the enemy had established a number of strong advanced posts close to the Anzac trenches, and these were soon developed into a formidable front line. After the despatch of the 2nd Australian Brigade and the New Zealand Brigade to Helles for the Second Battle of Krithia the garrison of Anzac for a time consisted of only 10,000 rifles, made up of three attenuated brigades of Australian infantry and four battalions of the Royal Naval Division. These troops had not only to fight and dig; they had also to build roads and cut paths; and there were heavy and incessant fatigues for disembarking stores and carrying food and water up to the line. There was little rest for anyone; and with the enemy showing a constant activity, and the position at the head of Monash Gully still perilously insecure, the tension of the first few weeks at Anzac has been described by the Australians as greater than anything they subsequently experienced in other theatres of war. The front line at Anzac was at this time divided into four sections, numbered 1 to 4 from the right. Of these, the two southern sections were held by the 1st and 3rd Brigades of the 1st Australian Division under Major-General W. T. Bridges, and the two northern by the 4th Australian Brigade of the New Zealand and Australian Division under Major-General Sir A. J. Godley, reinforced by the four battalions of the Royal Naval Division. On the extreme right of No. 1 Section the defences consisted of a wire entanglement running up from the beach, guarded by a few sentry posts on the slope above it. Thence the line continued along the summit of Bolton's Ridge to the southern end of 400 Plateau. No. 2 Section extended due north along the western edge of 400 Plateau and thence to Steele's Post, which marked the northern limit of the ist Australian Division. As early as the first week in May the front-line trenches on Bolton's Ridge and 400 Plateau were deep and continuous, for in both these sections the troops had been fairly free from attack. Further north, however, owing to the proximity of the Turkish posts and to the fact that parts of the line were overlooked by high ground at the head of Monash Gully, the lateral extension of the trenches at Steele's could be effected only by sapping and tunnelling, and it was nearly the middle of May before through communication between 400 Plateau and the right of No. 3 Section was satisfactorily completed. No. 3 Section, which began at Courtney's, included the apex of the Anzac triangle, and was at once the most exposed section in the area and the most troublesome to organize for defence. It consisted of three isolated posts, Courtney's, Quinn's, and Pope's. Of these, the two first-named, like Steele's, were situated at the head of narrow indentations in the steep slopes of the ridge. The third was on the edge of the spur which separates the eastern and western forks of Monash Gully. Between Quinn's and Pope's was a gap of 150 yards, and from Pope's to the right of No. 4 Section on Russell's Top mother gap of 250 yards. Not until the middle of May, when the construction of a communication trench down the steep side of Russell's Top was undertaken, did daylight communication between Nos. 3 and 4 Sections become possible. Behind No. 3 Section, in case the garrisons of Quinn's and Pope's should be driven from their positions, a second line was eventually dug across Monash Gully from Courtney's to Russell's Top. No. 4 Section stretched across Russell's Top, where it was confronted by strong Turkish trenches south of the Nek and on the summit of Baby 700 beyond. It then ran down Walker's Ridge to the beach, with two small posts, known as Nos. 1 and 2 Outposts, thrown forward to the foothills on either side of the mouth of Sazli Beit Dere. Until the completion of a deep trench along the foreshore, communication with these outposts could only be effected by night. The presence of warships off the coast was a great help to the Anzac corps, for neither from the north nor south could the Turks show themselves in any numbers without drawing the navy's fire. Probably for this reason, the two flank sections continued to be less closely hemmed in by the enemy than those in the centre. In the early days the Australians on the right were able to carry out a nightly reconnaissance for some distance in the direction of Gaba Tepe. The New Zealanders on the left had a similar freedom of movement, and information collected by their patrols eventually led to highly important developments. The question of adequate artillery support for the troops in the two central sections remained throughout these weeks an almost insoluble problem. With the exception of two Indian mountain batteries, one New Zealand battery of 4.5-inch howitzers, and two old 6-inch howitzers landed by the navy on the 15th May, the artillery at General Birdwood's disposal consisted only of 18-pdr. guns, which were quite unsuited to the ground. It was almost impossible to find positions from which they could engage the enemy trenches, or even the Turkish guns in rear, without themselves being exposed to enfilade fire at ranges of only a few hundred yards. In a few places 18-pdr. guns posted on the extreme right could fire on targets on the extreme left, and vice versa. But by the middle of May it had only been possible to find positions for about twenty all told, and many were such as no artillery officer can ever before have dreamed of occupying with 18-pdr. guns. The Turkish artillerymen were faced with no such problem. With excellent concealed positions in rear of Gun Ridge, and direct ground observation from both flanks, it was only the lack of material which prevented the Turks from obliterating the Anzac line. The Australians and New Zealanders had already inflicted such heavy casualties on the Turks that Liman von Sanders himself, "after the bloody encounters of the first two weeks", instructed Essad Pasha, commander of the northern zone, to refrain for the present from attempting anything big. He ordered him, however, to ensure the retention at all costs of the commanding positions which his troops already held, and to protect his front line from naval bombardment by pushing his trenches as close as possible to those of the invader. This order led to almost continuous fighting throughout the second and third weeks of May, particularly in the neighbourhood of Quinn's, Courtney's, and Steele's Posts, where the Anzac Garrisons were struggling to keep and if possible to extend their precarious foothold on the extreme western edge of the crest. The situation of the two posts at Courtney's and Quinn's was almost fantastic, and the determination of the troops who clung to those perilous yet vitally important positions during the first month of the campaign has won a legendary fame . . .

Fine Books for Fine Minds

I value your custom (and my feedback rating) but I am also a bibliophile : I want books to arrive in the same condition in which they were dispatched. For this reason, all books are securely wrapped in tissue and a protective covering and are then posted in a cardboard container. If any book is significantly not as described, I will offer a full refund. Unless the size of the book precludes this, hardback books with a dust-jacket are usually provided with a clear film protective cover, while hardback books without a dust-jacket are usually provided with a rigid clear cover.

The Royal Mail, in my experience, offers an excellent service, but things can occasionally go wrong. However, I believe it is my responsibility to guarantee delivery. If any book is lost or damaged in transit, I will offer a full refund. Thank you for looking.
