Summary "The Big Fight (Gallipoli to the Somme)" by Capt. David Fallon, M.C. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative provides a first-hand perspective of the experiences of Australian soldiers during World War I, particularly highlighting the Gallipoli Campaign and subsequent battles. Through Fallon's eyes, readers gain insight into the challenges faced by the troops, the motivations behind their enlistment, and the intense emotional and physical hardships of warfare. The opening of the text introduces the author and narrator, Captain David Fallon, who recounts his journey from Australia to the frontlines. He reflects on his family heritage of military involvement and his own eagerness to join the fight, especially after witnessing the brutalities inflicted upon innocents in Belgium. Fallon describes his initial training experiences and paints a vivid picture of the sheer determination of volunteers from Australia as they prepare to face the horrors of combat. This setting establishes a tone of camaraderie, bravery, and an understanding of the sacrifices these soldiers are about to make, setting the stage for the harrowing tales that follow in the rest of the book.
