17 Gallipoli Part 2
WW1 Memoirs of Sgt Fred Reynard
Great, unpublished history!
The second instalment of the brutal, firsthand account of the savage WW1 battle of Gallipoli, written by Sergeant Fred Reynard of the Isle of Wight Rifles.
There’s more vicious fighting, as the troops continue their struggle to cross the peninsula to get to the waters of the Dardanelles.
