About this book
On Land and Sea at the Dardanelles by T. C. Bridges hurls listeners into the smoke, salt and suspense of a daring World War I campaign where naval action and shore fighting collide. This gripping war fiction follows transport voyages, cliff-top landings and tense boarding parties as young soldiers and sailors—led by figures like Ken Carrington and Dave Burney—face barbed wire, snipers and the brutal improvisations of frontline warfare.
Bridges weaves vivid battle scenes with quieter moments of camaraderie, promotion and cunning ruses of war, evoking the Dardanelles and Gallipoli theatre with historical color and seafaring detail. Episodes range from the roar of guns and submarine exploits to the weary humanity of prisoners and stretcher-borne heroes, all set against the Aegean’s phosphorescent nights and rocky coasts. Themes of courage, sacrifice, tactical daring and the fog of war run through this classic war story, delivered in a brisk, adventurous narrative voice.
Perfect for fans of historical war stories and naval fiction, this audiobook will appeal to listeners who crave authentic period atmosphere, vivid action sequences, and the grit of early twentieth-century combat—an ideal listen for anyone drawn to Gallipoli-era drama and maritime adventure.
