This book is not intended as a comprehensive history of the Gallipoli Campaign, for which numerous excellent resources already exist. Instead, it focuses on the British Yeomanry, specifically the 2nd Mounted Division, and their involvement in the Battle for Scimitar and W Hills at Suvla Bay on 21/22 August 1915. Located on the Gallipoli Peninsula, Suvla Bay saw the landing of British forces in early August 1915 with the objective of establishing a base north of Anzac Cove for subsequent military operations.
The 10th Battalion, Notts & Derbys, Sherwood Foresters, served on the Western Front throughout the Great War, participating in most major battles. These books provide a daily account of the Battalion's service and are an excellent resource for family historians. Volumes One to Three include casualty details.
