A century after the ill-fated Gallipoli campaign in World War I, an album of photographs was discovered in a drawer in an isolated New Zealand farmhouse. Soldier Ernie Young lost his arm in the conflict, and as an aide to the commanding general he was soon shipped off to hospital in Egypt and then Britain. With him went a forbidden soldiers camera, and 100 years later, his photographic record of war and recovery, has emerged. Historian Brian Eastwood has connected these unique pictures with the aid of Ernie's wartime diary. Look out for a never before seen picture of royalty on the banks of the Thames, among a unique account of recovering war-wounded, and those who cared for them.
