A Lieutenant-Colonel in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, William Malone (1859–1915) helped lead the capture of Chunuk Bair at Gallipoli, only to be killed days later while defending the peak. This edited collection of his diaries, letters and personal photographs covers the twelve action-filled months prior to his death, from his initial deployment to Egypt in 1914, to his part in the Gallipoli Landings, Walker’s Ridge and the Second Battle of Krithia.
