Set in Sabon by Renni Johnson.

To my Muse, whose physical and emotional beauty
is unmatched in the universe.
Without her, this work would not have been possible.
Thank you, my wife.

And to 42,000 British and Dominion troops who died
at Gallipoli fighting a campaign that could not have been won,
in a place most had never heard of, against an enemy who
would rather have been their friend.

Before Gardens of Hell was a book, it was a research project. My late husband wanted to record the name, rank, and any personal information he could find for every man at the Gallipoli campaign. He posted queries in magazines, went on the radio and television in some areas, joined historical associations, and traveled to Turkey and England for this information. In the course of his search for stories of the men, he found people who shared his love of the subject, people who would give information about family members who had been there, and people who helped him with his research.

This is a small acknowledgment of these people. Pat was proud to share your stories, and he was proud of the number of friends that he met in the course of this journey. For all of you who gave of your family history, your time, your expertise, and for many of you, your friendship, thank you. This book would not be possible without you.
