Dear Confusia,
Really pleased to hear you like the book - its one of the very best accounts by an Other Rank at Gallipoli.
Not sure if you know the book but is one of a trilogy of memoirs by Riley - the others being 'Egypt Diary 1914-1915' and 'Netley Diary 1915-1916'  - about his experiences prior and post Gallipoli:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=gallipoli+diary+alec+riley&crid=251BRCHLKN325&sprefix=Alec+Riley%2Caps%2C76&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_10

BTW - We recently published another Gallipoli veteran's own account: 'Lost Endeavour' by Charles Watkins:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lost-Endeavour-survivors-ill-fated-Gallipoli-ebook/dp/B0CMNY9KF6
and we also plan to publish next year an enhanced version of 5th Manchester's CO, Sir Henry Darlington's Gallipoli book - 'Letters from Helles'
Best regards,
Mike Crane
