Bowler of Gallipoli is the study of the only New Zealand member of the Staff Corps at Gallipoli in 1915. Edmund Bowler, well known in the regions around Gore, Invercargill and Timaru, was a brave and thoughtful officer who achieved the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel before becoming the Beach Landing Officer, Corps Provost Marshal on Gallipoli. He was in the ideal position to observe the events leading up to the landing and then the storming of the beaches and cliffs. The tactics and strategy of the campaign unfolded before him and what he saw, felt and thought is revealed in his diaries from which this history was drawn.
Dr Frank Glen lives in Christchurch, having spent 28 years in the Australian Defence Forces, New Zealand Army and the police before working for five years as the editor of the New Zealand Journal of Military History. He has also contributed to the NZ Dictionary of Biography and the Oxford Companion to NZ Military History. Much of his research for this book was done at Gallipoli on a 1997 trip.
