Ashmead-Bartlett’s Despatches From The Dardanelles
Published during the Great War, this book by Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett (1881-1931), a British war correspondent during the First World War, covers the preparations for the assault on Gallipoli, the naval Battle of the Dardanelles, the landings at ANZAC and Cape Helles and the battles for Krithia, Achi Baba and the heights of ANZAC from March to July 1915. Through his reporting of the Battle of Gallipoli, Ashmead-Bartlett was instrumental in the birth of the Anzac legend, which still dominates military history in Australia and New Zealand. Outspoken in his criticism of the conduct of the campaign, he was instrumental in bringing about the dismissal of the British commander-in-chief, Sir Ian Hamilton—an event that led to the evacuation of British forces from the Gallipoli peninsula.
Myth Maker
Ashmead-Bartlett was the son of a British MP who became a famous war correspondent, covering con? icts from Asia to Morocco. He wrote his?rst despatches about the Gallipoli landing that appeared in Australian newspapers. His reporting was a sensation and set the ?ame under adistinctive Australian sense of nationalism at the time. Whilst Charles Bean?s of?cial war stories kept the ?ame alive, it was Ashmead-Bartlett who lit the spark!This amazing story will take you inside the mind of this Englishman, who became the unexpected correspondent responsible for igniting our passion in the Gallipoli legend. He too was on the frontline, surviving a submarine torpedo attack on the Battleship Majestic off the shores of Gallipoli. There was no doubting his bravery, his reporting expertise and his in?uence on our nation.
Reconsidering Gallipoli
In Australia, Anzac Day, the anniversary of the first landings at Gallipoli, is one of the most important dates in the national calendar. Yet in Britain, the campaign is largely forgotten. The key to this contrast lies in the way in which the campaign's history has been recorded. To many Australians, the Anzac legend is a romantic war myth that proclaims the prowess of Australian participants in the campaign. It is an exercise in nation-building. In Britain, the campaign is also remembered in romantic terms, but the purpose here is to assuage the pain of defeat. Reconsidering Gallipoli broadens the debate over the cultural history of the First World War beyond the Western Front. The final chapter traces the influence of the early accounts on subsequent portrayals including Alan Moorehead's 1956 book, Bean's post 1965 rehabilitation, Peter Weir's 1981 film, and revisionist attacks on the legend.

The Gallipoli Letter
The vivid, charged and emotional letter that changed the course of the Gallipoli campaign.
War, Journalism and History
War, Journalism and History is the first published work to examine an eclectic mix of correspondents during the two world wars who were prepared, often at great personal cost, to inform the public about the obscenity of warfare. Throughout both world wars the lack of credible information being dispatched from fighting fronts to the home front led to the creation of an information vacuum. The void was filled by war correspondents: the heroes, sometimes anti-heroes, of news reporting. This edited volume examines the lives and works of maverick war correspondents such as Richard Dimbleby, Vasilii Grossman, Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett, Albert Londres, Vera Brittain, and others who, whether through the use of pen or camera, typewriter or radio, tried to secure the integrity of wartime reporting and accurately record history in the making.
Bean's Gallipoli
The story of the ANZAC Gallipoli campaign based on the diaries of CEW Bean, the official Australian correspondent at Gallipoli.
