First In, Last Out: The Navy at Gallipoli by L.R. Frame and G.J. Swindon offers a detailed and compelling account of the Royal Navy’s crucial yet often overlooked role in the Gallipoli campaign of 1915. The authors trace the Navy’s involvement from the early reconnaissance and initial landings through to the final evacuations, highlighting the challenges of navigating treacherous waters, supporting ground forces under constant threat, and sustaining morale in a brutal and protracted operation. Drawing on official records, personal diaries, and contemporary reports, the book paints a vivid picture of courage, ingenuity, and endurance, demonstrating how naval actions shaped the course—and ultimate failure—of the campaign.
