Index – Removed “Williams-Thomson, Colonel, 78” entry and added its
page number to “Williams, Colonel” entry immediately above.
The author often refers to a fellow officer named Horne. This is
sometimes incorrectly rendered as Horn in the original publication. All
such occurrences have been regularised to Horne in this transcription.
References to the village of “Sedul-Bahr” or “Sed-el-Bahr” appear
multiple times in the original publication with the latter form being
much more common. The six occurrences of “Sedul-Bahr” have been
regularised to “Sed-el-Bahr”.
There is a reference to a hill above Suvla Bay that is called ‘Kara
Kol Dogh’ on page 253 but ‘Kara-Kol-Dagh’ in the Index. Both references
have been changed to ‘Karakol Dagh’ by which it is more commonly known.
The Index of the original publication contains many errors, most of
which are left unchanged in this transcription. They include entries
where some instances of terms are not listed and entries that reference
terms that do not appear on the cited page. However missing punctuation
and inconsistent formatting have been corrected and a small number of
entries have been revised where that was required as a consequence of
other changes noted above.
On page 77 of the original publication the author uses a small inline
image to describe the shape of the front line at that time. That shape
is approximated in this transcription by a lower half-cirle character
[◡] and appears in the sentence “The line forms the shape of a ◡, the
extremes resting on ground on either side of the Peninsula.”
