About this book
The book is titled The Tenth (Irish) Division in Gallipoli. The text says recruiting in Ireland in August, 1914, was not as satisfactory as it was in England, and in consequence Lord Kitchener decided early in September to transfer a number of the recruits for whom no room could be found in English regiments to fill up the ranks of the 10th Division. The writer says it is not easy to make an accurate estimate, but that he should be disposed to say that in the Infantry of the Division 90 per cent. of the officers and 70 per cent. of the men were either Irish or of Irish extraction.
The text says the 6th Munsters, who were holding Jephson's Post, discovered that the Turks were digging in close to their immediate front, and Colonel Worship gave orders that a party under Captain Oldnall were to attack them at dawn. The index lists, among others, Suvla Bay, Suvla Point and Tekke Tepe.
