Summary "Gallipoli Diary, Volume 2" by Ian Hamilton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume continues the firsthand narrative of General Sir Ian Hamilton, who commanded British forces during the Gallipoli Campaign in World War I. The diary reflects Hamilton's strategies, observations, and experiences as he navigates the challenges of the campaign, including troop movements and logistical difficulties. At the start of the volume, the narrative details Hamilton's thoughts on the upcoming attack plans and the importance of surprise in military strategy. He recounts messages from Lord Kitchener, discussing troop movements and the necessity of substantial reinforcements to succeed in their objectives. The tension is palpable as Hamilton describes the trials of command amidst logistical failures and mounting pressure, while also highlighting his ongoing concern for the well-being of his troops. The opening segment effectively sets the stage for the subsequent military actions and the personal struggles of leadership during one of the Great War's most infamous operations.
