Annotated Transcription PDF File 1916 Transcription notes 1. The diaries were transcribed by David and Megan Shaw, members of Reverend Gibbon’s family and checked for accuracy by Dr Gareth Lloyd of John Rylands Library, University of Manchester. The transcripts are very accurate for the purpose of general research; however, if a more exact reproduction of the text is required for the purpose of academic publication, the text must be checked more closely against the original manuscript. 2. Dates in italics are the printed dates that appear on the diary pages. 3. It is clear in some cases that the allocation of entries to a specific printed date does not necessarily mean that the entry in fact relates to that date. Entries can run over several pages, which coupled with the stressful circumstances under which the diarist was writing, such as being under artillery fire, means that Gibbon was unable to maintain a strict chronological arrangement and division. However, it is unlikely that the alignment between the handwritten text and the printed date varies by more than a day or two, except in those cases where Gibbon annotates the text accordingly. 4. Spelling has been corrected where there is no doubt as to the correct reading – for example, Fovant (Wiltshire) for Fovent. 5. Punctuation is not corrected, except in those cases where comprehension would be difficult otherwise. 5. Paragraph and line breaks are inserted, where appropriate to aid comprehension. 6. Due to geo-political changes since World War I, many place names in the Balkans and Near East, have changed either their spelling or have been completely renamed. Where it was possible to identify such changes, these places are listed in the place name glossary. Annotations The text is edited with the inclusion as footnotes of information relating to individuals, units, places, military operations and casualties. Online sources used included: 1.

  • Gallipoli Campaign
    tHe GaLlIpOlI CaMpAiGn The Gallipoli Campaign was an attack on the Gallipoli peninsula during World War I, between 25 April 1915 and 9 January 1916. The Gallipoli peninsula was an important tactical position during World War I. The British War Council suggested that Germany could be defeated by attacks on her allies, Austria, Hungary and Turkey. The Allied forces of the British Empire (including Australia and New Zealand) aimed to force a passage through the Dardanelles Strait and capture the Turkish capital, Constantinople. At dawn on 25 April 1915, Anzac assault troops landed north of Gaba Tepe, at what became known as Anzac Cove, while the British forces landed at Cape Helles on the Gallipoli Peninsula. The campaign was a brave but costly failure. By December 1915 plans were drawn up to evacuate the entire force from Gallipoli. On 19 and 20 December, the evacuation of over 142,000 men from Anzac Cove commenced and was completed three weeks later with minimal casualties. In total, the whole Gallipoli campaign caused 26,111 Australian casualties, including 8,141 deaths. Since 1916 the anniversary of the landings on 25 April has been commemorated as Anzac Day, becoming one of the most important national celebrations in Australia and New Zealand. tHe GaLlIpOlI CaMpAiGn The Gallipoli Campaign was an attack on the Gallipoli peninsula during World War I, between 25 April 1915 and 9 January 1916.

  • “Come on Lads”
    “COME ON LADS” ON “COME “COME ON LADS” Old Wesley Collegians and the Gallipoli Campaign Philip J Powell Philip J Powell FOREWORD Congratulations, Philip Powell, for producing this short history. It brings to life the experiences of many Old Boys who died at Gallipoli and some who survived, only to be fatally wounded in the trenches or no-man’s land of the western front. Wesley annually honoured these names, even after the Second World War was over. The silence in Adamson Hall as name after name was read aloud, almost like a slow drum beat, is still in the mind, some seventy or more years later. The messages written by these young men, or about them, are evocative. Even the more humdrum and everyday letters capture, above the noise and tension, the courage. It is as if the soldiers, though dead, are alive. Geoffrey Blainey AC (OW1947) Front cover image: Anzac Cove - 1915 Australian War Memorial P10505.001 First published March 2015.

Palestinian Land Annexed, Expropriated, or totally controlled by Israel Palestinian Loss of Land: 1967 - 2014 Since the 1993 Oslo Accords, the Palestinian Authority officially controls a geographically non-contiguous territory comprising approximately 11% of the West Bank (known as Area A) which remains subject to Israeli incursions. Area B (approx. 28%) is subject to joint Israeli-Palestinian military and Palestinian civil control. Area C (approx. 61%) is under full Israeli control. According to B'tselem, the vast majority of the Palestinian population lives in areas A and B and less than 1% of area C is designated for use by Palestinians, who are also unable to legally build in their own existing villages in area C due to Israeli authorities' restrictions.
