Two Sides of the Same Bad Penny

In 1915, Great Britain and her Empire found itself engaged at Gallipoli and on the Western Front. Lacking the wherewithal to conduct both campaigns effectively, the year was one of theatre-wide learning and experiential exchange that continued to the armistice. Primarily based on a series of papers delivered at the Western Front Association’s Gallipoli and the Western Front Centenary Conference (25-27 September 2015), this compendium volume contains original essays by such notable First World War historians as Stephen Chambers, Mark Connolly, Christopher Pugsley and Gary Sheffield. The various topics include command and control, military technology, logistics and British and Dominion forces.

"… this is a volume worth reading. Its contents materially add to our knowledge of various features of the war and differences between the main effort on the Western Front and the poor relations at Gallipoli." Stand To!

"...For anyone interested in learning more about Gallipoli and the Western Front in 1915, then this is the book for you." Stephen Chambers, redcoatandkhaki.com
