I missed a day this week but I am enjoying posting the pages. Even after all my familiarity with it, going through it page by page gives me a new appreciation of how packed this brief account is with detail. I cannot believe I once thought it boring. In these pages we travelacross the Aegean to Constantinople via Lemnos and Moudross – where we have the first sight of the ‘Bolshies’ in the form of one of their ships run aground – and then The Dardanelles and Gallipoli and where wrecks are still visible from those recent, tragic engaements. there is time for a very brief history of the HMS Porto, to land at Constantinople and to enter ‘St. Sophie…’ now the Hagia Sophia, all in five pages.

Now I’m trying to remember what it was they weren’t allowed to walk on in the Hagia Sophia. I’ll have to look it up in a minute.

Tease! Love that he only writes on one side so the words don’t bleed through to the next bit!
