A very good and personal account of the Gallipoli campaign. Bush was there as a midshipman on HMS Baccante, in command of a steam picket boat working the beaches. He was awarded the DSC for his services, at 14 he was the youngest ever recipient.
Adding to his own memories those of his contemporaries plus official, and not so official, accounts from both sides of the lines, Bush assembles a refreshing take on the campaign. ( )
