Overview
In 1922, war between Turkey and Britain was but hours away. A resistance army led by Mustafa Kemal had swept the Greeks from Anatolia and was now ready to march north to Constantinople and liberate the capital. But in its way stood a small British garrison at the Dardanelles.
This affectionate account of the British Army at Chanak was written by a peripatetic Englishman, Percival James Bothwell, under the pseudonym 'Z'. He was branch secretary of the YMCA in Chanak.
Bothwell's account was originally published as a slim paperback by S. Dirmikis & Son, Constantinople, probably in 1923. This modern edition is a faithful reproduction of the original text. It has been illustrated with contemporary photographs and two maps. Included as appendices are a biography of the author, two stories by Bothwell from the YMCA magazine, 'The Red Triangle', and orders of battle for British forces at Chanak.
