Die in Battle, Do Not Despair
About 1,600 of the Indians who served on Gallipoli died, in actions at Gurkha Bluff and Hill 60. Though commemorated on the great memorial to the missing at Cape Helles (because most Indians' bodies were cremated or, actually, lost) they are practically invisible on Gallipoli today.The Indian story of Gallipoli has barely been told before. They took part in terrible, failed attacks, at Gully Ravine and Gully Spur and in the climactic attempt in August to seize the summit of Sari Bair - one of the Gurkhas' most cherished battle honors.
Though inescapably drawing on records created by the force's British officers, it strives to recapture the experience of the formerly anonymous sepoys, gunners and drivers, Not only is this the first book about their part in the campaign to be published in the century since 1915, but it also tells their story in new and unexpected ways.
