Summary: For the entire Gallipoli campaign, Quinn's Post was critical to the defence of Anzac [Cove]. Yet we know very little more about Quinn's than we did in 1924. This book tells the powerful story of the Australians and New Zealanders who lived and died at Quinn's Post, from the first hours of the landing to the final minutes of the evacuation.
