- Summary:
-
Lieutenant-Colonel William Malone is one of New Zealand's best-known First World War heroes, having held off fierce Turkish counter-attacks for nearly two days before being killed by a shell from a British warship. The defence of Chunuk Bair has been described as one of New Zealand's finest hours with Malone and his men capturing and holding the heights of Chunuk Bair on the Gallipoli Peninsula in August 1915. William Malone was not only an outstanding military leader, as commander of the Wellington Infantry Battalion, but also a successful farmer, lawyer and family man. His letters reveal a man unfulfilled by peacetime pursuits, with war offering him a liberation of spirit and a new sense of purpose.
