Summary "Gallipoli Diary" by Major John Graham Gillam is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This diary chronicles the experiences of a supply officer during the Gallipoli campaign of World War I, detailing both the logistical challenges and the personal reflections of the author as he engages with the realities of war. The narrative is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made and the human elements that accompany the military strategy during one of history's infamous military engagements. The beginning of "Gallipoli Diary" sets the stage for Gillam's journey as he embarks on the S.S. Arcadian, anticipating a grand adventure at the Dardanelles. He shares his early impressions of the troopship and the people he encounters, capturing the optimistic spirit of his fellow soldiers as they prepare for combat. Upon arriving at Alexandria, the author details the chaos of disembarking troops and the arduous work of ensuring supplies are accounted for. Gillam’s keen observations and reflections hint at the grim realities that lay ahead, establishing a tone of both excitement and foreboding as he readies himself for the coming conflict.
