Gael Force on Gallipoli is a fascinating new book by Colin Scott Mackenzie and looks sure to be a hit with WWI history buffs.
It tells the hitherto untold story of the very first artillery unit of any kind and the very first Territorial troops of any badge to land anywhere on Gallipoli on 25th April, 1915.
Following the adventures of the Ross Mountain Battery, Argyll Mountain Battery and Bute Mountain Battery – comprising the 4th Highland Mountain Battery Brigade – the book recounts their story from mobilisation to the end of the campaign in the Turkish peninsula and is the only place to find a complete list of all those who served there in the mountain batteries.
