GALLIPOLI: A MANUAL OF TRENCH WARFARE

by Clem Gorman

The drama takes place in a sandbagged trench at Gallipoli, 1915 and puts a perspective on the Great War’s legend of heroism. The main character is Barry Moon, a country boy battling not only the enemy, but himself and the establishment.

When a new soldier, Irishman Brendan Barra, is brought to Barry Moon’s trench on the Gallipoli front to replace his mate who has died, Moon does not know what he is in for.

It is the love between comrades in arms, coupled with a fierce resistance to stupid and cruel authority, which Barra has inherited from his Irish warrior ancestors.
