Mini Story or Hook: Published during the First World War, this 1916 third impression of Gallipoli by poet laureate John Masefield captures the immediacy and gravity of one of the most significant campaigns of the Great War. Endorsed by General Sir Ian Hamilton and written with both compassion and clarity, Masefield's work remains a foundational account of the ANZAC experience—widely read in its day and still deeply resonant for collectors and historians.
