There are literally hundreds of books written by high-ranking officers, historians and military experts on the part the Anzacs played in the Dardanelles Campaign, but there are very few by the ordinary soldier.
Roy Kyle started writing his remarkable memoirs at the age of eighty-nine and almost completed his story before he died. Byrce Courtenay was asked if he could edit Roy's work with the view to it being published.
Roy Kyle was a typical Anzac, fiercely patriotic and prepared to give his life for King and Country. He couldn't wait to have a go and enlisted at seventeen, a year under-age and found himself in a trench at Lone Pine on his eighteenth birthday. The battle of Lone Pine, more than any other, established the legend of Gallipoli and was where a new nation was called upon to test its courage.
One of the last to leave Gallipoli, Roy Kyle served in Egypt and later at the Somme where he was wounded in the head, arms and back.
