THE TENTH (IRISH) DIVISION [Illustration: MULES IN THE ANZAC SAP] THE TENTH (IRISH) DIVISION IN GALLIPOLI BY BRYAN COOPER MAJOR, GENERAL LIST NEW ARMIES FORMERLY 5TH SERVICE BATTALION THE CONNAUGHT RANGERS WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MAJOR-GEN. SIR BRYAN MAHON, D.S.O. WITH APPRECIATIONS BY MR. ASQUITH MR. BALFOUR SIR EDWARD CARSON MR. JOHN REDMOND HERBERT JENKINS LIMITED 3 YORK STREET ST. JAMES’S LONDON S.W.1 ∿ ∿ MCMXVIII “So they gave their bodies to the common weal and received, each for his own 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._ PRINTED BY BURLEIGH LTD., AT THE BURLEIGH PRESS, BRISTOL, ENGLAND TO THE GLORIOUS MEMORY OF THE OFFICERS, NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS AND MEN OF THE TENTH IRISH DIVISION WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN GALLIPOLI AND TO THOSE WHO MOURN FOR THEM APPRECIATIONS Major Cooper’s narrative of the exploits of the 10th Division in the Gallipoli Campaign is a moving and inspiring record, of which Irishmen everywhere may well be proud. I trust that it will be widely read in all parts of the Empire. (Sd.) H. H. ASQUITH This war has been fruitful in deeds of splendid bravery and heroic endurance; but neither in bravery nor endurance have the 10th Division in the Gallipoli Campaign been surpassed by any of their brothers-in-arms who have been fighting in Europe and Asia for the cause Of civilisation and freedom.
