A first ever book on Indian participation in the Battle of Gallipoli during the First World War written by Prof. Peter Stanley was released today at the Australian High Commission.

Both Australia and New Zealand begin their process of national awakening from this battle which is the bases of the evolution of their national consciousness separate from the United Kingdom. The Australians are now wanting to evolve a lasting relationship with India through the memory of sacrifice and camaraderie which soldiers from India and Australia - New Zealand share.
