520    The battlefields of Gallipoli and Salonica were a far cry 
       from life on a small working farm in County Louth, Ireland,
       and yet, in 1915, Captain David Campbell, M.C., 6th Royal 
       Irish Rifles, found himself in the searing Turkish heat, 
       confronted by a faceless and seemingly tireless enemy. 
       Less than twenty months after joining the Officers' 
       Training Corps in Trinity College Dublin, Campbell led his
       company over the arid ground to the Front. From the 
       beginning he kept a diary, describing life in these two 
       theatres of war in great detail. Forward the Rifles is 
       that diary. In it, he encapsulates the frightening scale 
       of warfare, and yet he managed to find humour in the 
       simple acts of himself and his men, as they trudge through
       daily life, trying to keep their bodies nourished and 
       their spirits buoyed. The story of Captain David Campbell 
       is one that will ring true for many, and yet it is an 
       intensely personal one, chronicling his recovery from the 
       physical and mental wounds of battle. Now, more than three
       decades after his death, the unswerving loyalty, courage 
       and kindness of Captain David Campbell, M.C., are reborn.
