Issue Description
On the morning of the 28 June 1914 two pistol shots fired in a Sarajevo street would plunge the world into the most destructive war it had ever known as a spider's web of alliances set Great Power against Great Power.
In the far corners of the British Empire, men flocked to the flag, ready to do their bit in the European war. For the blokes of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, though, it wasn't France they ended up in, it was a place called Gallipoli and a particular spot always mentioned when tales of bravery are told...
Introduction
As a tribute to those who served during the years 1914-1918 - on the Home Front or at Front Line - Commando has produced a series of stories of characters caught up in the tumult of the First World War. None of them are real characters but we'd like to think that the experiences they have will not be a million miles from what actually happened to so many.
Last month the Allied forces managed, just, to hold the line against the might of the Kaiser's armies. Seeing stalemate settling over the Western Front, Allied High Command decided on a bold gamble to break the deadlock by attacking half a continent away from France. The battles that followed made heroes of many but at a terrible cost.
I hope you enjoy this and the other stories in the series as much as we have.
Calum Laird, Commando Editor
The series continues in four weeks with Attack In Artois, Commando No 4703
