Gallipoli Diary 1915

“We had a look around, through periscopes, at the remains of recent fighting. The dead were on top, and we, the living, were below the general ground-level. The usual order of life and death were reversed.” So wrote Alec Riley in his account of an ordinary soldier in an extraordinary conflict, the Gallipoli campaign of 1915. A signaller with the 42nd (East Lancashire) Division, Riley was well placed to serve as an eyewitness to the sharp end of the campaign, being with the infantry but not of it. His task, and that of the small unit he served with and whose story he tells, was to maintain communications between the forward trenches and senior commanders in the rear, a conduit for at time...

Egypt Diary 1914-1915

“From a ground-floor room at the end of one block shone a light. It came from a canteen. I saw others were busy while I was lowering a pint of shandy. I was so dry that I could not taste it—I could only just feel it. We felt better. Where there was beer there was hope.” Alec Riley was a signaller in the British Army’s 42nd (East Lancashire) Division. Egypt Diary 1914–1915 tells of the mobilisation of the East Lancashire Division at the outbreak of war, and the territorials’ eight-month-long period of training and garrison duty in Egypt prior to being deployed to Gallipoli. It brings to life the strange and exotic sights met by the Lancashire lads, most of whom had previously trav...

Netley Diary 1915-1916

Corporal Alec Riley served at Gallipoli in 1915 with the British 42nd (East Lancashire) Division. ‘Four months of Gallipoli gave me four diseases and 12 months in Netley.’ Riley chose the Royal Victoria Hospital for his convalescence because he wanted to know what a great military hospital was like. He kept a diary which he later turned into a narrative of his time at Netley. ‘I have tried,’ says Riley, ‘to give some idea of life in one of the many wards, the various patients I met, our habits, amusements, hopes and fears.’ Riley’s journey was shared by thousands of First World War soldiers who left the front sick and broken, to embark on the slow road to recovery. The book is richly illustrated with rarely seen images and includes a concise history of the Royal Victoria Hospital.
