From Gallipoli To Palestine: The War Writings of Sergeant G T Clunie of Wellington Mounted Rifles 1914-1919 (2009) By Kevin Clunie
 
 Provides the reader with a view of the historic Anzac operations at Gallipoli, then the successful campaign in Egypt and Palestine. Garry Clunie sailed from New Zealand in December 1914 with the Wellington Mounted Rifles Regt and did not return home until 1919.
 
For much of the next few years at war Garry Clunie maintained a diary in which he recorded daily events, however, of even greater importance were the numerous, often frank and apparently uncensored letters he wrote to his older brother Will, a veteran of the Boer War.
 
Garry Clunie's war writings are an unvarnished and fascinating story of war, told through the eyes of a young farmer who had enlisted in the Army to serve his country and the Empire at a time of need. The book is profusely illustrated with photographs taken by Sergeant Clunie during his service in the Middle East and complements this soldier's story of life in the Gallipoli trenches then in the sands of the Sinai desert and finally in the hills of Palestine.
