More about the book

Captain Alan Hillgarth was just 15 years old when he found himself aboard the HMS Bacchante as World War I broke out. Within months he'd fought at Gallipoli, bayoneted an attacking Turkish soldier, and been shot in the head and leg. Such was the preamble to an extraordinary career, and a fascinating life.
