Die Schlacht um Gallipoli war Großbritanniens bitterste Niederlage des Ersten Weltkrieges. Dieser Band beschäftigt sich mit der Perspektivierung des Feldzugs. Zum einen sollen die Operationen innerhalb des Ersten Weltkrieges verortet werden, zum anderen beschrieben werden, welche Rolle die „Unvollendetheit" Gallipolis gegenwärtig im nationalen Gedächtnis der Nachfolgestaaten des Britischen Empire. The Battle of Gallipoli was the Britain’s most bitter defeat of the First World War. This volume seeks to place the Dardanelles campaign in proper perspective. It situates Gallipoli in the larger context of the First World War, and describes the role played by the “inconclusiveness” of Gallipoli in the national memories of the successor states of the British Empire.

Every year tens of thousands of Australians make their pilgrimages to Gallipoli, France and other killing fields of the Great War. It is a journey steeped in history. Some go in search of family memory, seeking the grave of a soldier lost a lifetime ago. For others, Anzac pilgrimage has become a rite of passage, a statement of what it means to be Australian. This book, first published in 2006, explores the memory of the Great War through the historical experience of pilgrimage. It examines the significance these 'sacred sites' have acquired in the hearts and minds of successive generations and charts the complex responses of young and old, soldier and civilian, the pilgrims of the 1920s and today's backpacker travellers. This book gives voice to history, retrieving a bitter-sweet testimony through interviews, surveys and a rich archival record. Innovative, courageous and often deeply moving, it explains why the Anzac legend still captivates Australians.
