Remembered Today:

Who was really in Command on W Beach?

There is some very interesting new research in the book Cornerstones. It builds on what the author wrote in Gallipoli; New Perspectives. It's well worth a read.

Dear  colleagues

                    Yes, the brigade commander had been wounded and Frankland, the brigade major had been killed.

                             Regards

“You had the whole thing on your shoulders from the time Frankland was killed and I am sure if you had not taken the grip of affairs that you did our whole effort would have collapsed.”

[Hare to Farmar, 2 August 1916]

I was just reading this chapter of New Perspectives the other day and as you suggest, on that basis Cornerstones should be worth getting (exchange rate etc permitting :unsure: )
