Scope and content
Text of speech by Hamilton to the dinner of the Twenty Ninth Division Association, Café Royal, London, on the uniqueness of the landings on Gallipoli of 25 Apr 1915 in contrast to his other military campaigns; his hope that the all evidence given to the Dardanelles Commission would be published; how All quiet on the Western Front [Im Westen nichts Neues] by Erich Maria Remarque (Putnam, London, 1929) would ensure the experiences of the Western Front during World War One would not be repeated. 5pp
