      Lt-Col W. G. Malone was commanding officer of New Zealand's Wellington Battalion at Gallipoli. Renowned for his humanity and superb leadership, he played a key role in the successful assault on Chunuk Bair on 8 August 1915, but was killed later that day. This book reproduces Malone's impressive diaries and letters, along with many striking images.
