She is currently writing a chapter on the topic of ‘Queen Alexandra’s Royal Naval Nursing Service and Reserve Nurses and Care-giving at Gallipoli’ for a new book called Gallipoli: New Perspectives on the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force 1915-16. Dr Andrew Lambert is Laughton Professor of Naval History in the Department of War Studies at King's College, London.

Peter Hart is a prolific author on both world wars. His books on the Great War include Defeat at Gallipoli, Tumult in the Clouds, Passchendaele, The Sacrificial Ground, Jutland 1916 (all co-authored with his colleague Nigel Steel) and Somme Success: The RFC and the Somme. Bloody April: Slaughter in the Skies over Arras, 1917, The Somme and Gallipoli 1915. His latest work is Voices from the Front: An Oral History of the Great War is a distillation of his life's work in recording the voices of veterans of the 1914-1918 conflict. Peter Hart is one of the country's leading oral historians. As the Imperial War Museum's Oral Historian, he works frequently with war veterans recording their wartime experiences and to continue to expand the magnificent collections of the Imperial War Museum Sound Archive. Dr Jochen Schrader has obtained a Ph. D. in Geophysics and currently works as Compliance Expert with a well-known German IT company. When Jochen was a child in the 1960s and 1970s in Dortmund, Germany, he grew up with the exciting stories his grandfather told about his own childhood as the oldest son of a liberal German journalist in a city then known as "Constantinople". Sometimes grandfather Wolfgang also mentioned the "Dardanelles”, and told strange stories about an exotic battlefield still largely unknown in Germany, where he served as staff translator, from July 1915 until January 1916, changing his German naval uniform for a Turkish infantry outfit. Only many years after Wolfgang's death in 1984, Jochen became himself interested in Wolfgang's wartime diaries and also the personal photo collection which both survived flight and displacement, not only in 1918/19 but also in the turbulent decades Germany faced afterwards.

bob lembke Posted 24 December , 2016 Share Posted 24 December , 2016 Have the Wolfgang Schrader diaries been published or are available in some other fashion? (I am assuming in German.) The photos? There are so few primary sources (except possibly in Turkish) about the Turkish/German side of the conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
