The Tenth (Irish) Division in Gallipoli

Excerpt from The Tenth (Irish) Division in Gallipoli"So they gave their bodies to the common weal and received, each for his om memory, praise that will never die, and with it the grandest of all sepulchres, not that in which their mortal bones are laid, but a home in the minds of men, where their glory remains fresh to stir to speech or action as the occasion comes by." - Thucydides."It seems as if this poor Celtic people were bent on making what one of its own poets has said of its heroes hold good for ever: 'They went forth to the war but they always fell.'" - Matthew Arnold.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
