About the Book

About 1,600 of the Indians who served on Gallipoli died, in action at Gurkha Bluff and Hill 60. They took part in terrible, failed attacks, at Gully Ravine and Gully Spur andin the climactic attempt in August to seize the summit of Sari Bair-one of the Gurkhas' most cherished battle honours. Though commemorated on the great memorial to the missing at Cape Helles (because most Indians' bodies were crematedor, actually, lost) they are practically invisible on Gallipoli today.
