The Straits Impregnable
Sydney De Loghe was the pen name used by Australian Sydney Loch when he published this fictionalised autobiography. He had served in the First A.I.F. in the Gallipoli Campaign and the original manuscript was written as an account of this service but by the time it was completed Loch had returned wounded and sick to Australia and was still in active service. With wartime censorship in effect in Australia, his publisher Henry Champion advised that it should be edited and published as a novel, with names changed to disguise the true identity of the characters, in order to pass the censor.

To Hell and Back
As a young soldier in the battlefields of Gallipoli, Sydney Loch witnessed the horror of war first hand. His journal of what he saw became a book on his return to Australia. Hoping to avoid military censorship, his publishers dubbed Loch's book a novel: The Straits Impregnable.
The Straits Impregnable
The Straits Impregnable is a fictionalised autobiography of a soldier's service in the Gallipoli campaign during World War One. It is based on the author's real experiences and those of his comrades to create a highly realistic but fictional account. Most of the events in the book are true, but due to post-war censorship, it was edited, and some details were changed. The book is truthful, graphic and emotional.
To Hell and Back
As a young soldier on the battlefields of Gallipoli, Sydney Loch witnessed the horrors of war firsthand. On his return to Australia, he wrote an account of all he saw, describing his work as fiction to evade censorship. As the war ground on abroad, Sydney's book, The Straits Impregnable, garnered widespread acclaim. But when the publisher revealed that it was a work of non-fiction, Australian military censors swiftly ordered it to be withdrawn from sale, and the book vanished. Now, historians Susanna and Jake de Vries have unearthed Sydney's book for a new generation. To accompany it, they have written a biography of the remarkable life of Sydney Loch: soldier, writer, humanitarian.
Ireland in Travail
This book was written by a journalist couple, Joice NanKivell Loch and Sydney Loch, is a travel guidebook to Ireland told in first-person. In the wonderful August weather of 1920, the two left London as the summer season had come to an end with less than its usual glory. The holidays had begun; but England, still limping from the late war, had lost the holiday spirit: indeed the world was restless as if it had come through painful convulsions to kick spasmodically for a while.
