Alex Calder is a professor at the Faculty of Arts, English and Drama, New Zealand of Auckland University. He also edited the book, Gallipoli to the Somme, written by Alexander Aitken.
Aitken began to write about his experiences in 1917 as a wounded out-patient in Dunedin Hospital. Every few years, when the war trauma caught up with him, he revisited the manuscript, which was eventually published as Gallipoli to the Somme in 1963.
Join Damien Grant as he interviews professor Alex Calder about the life and times of Alexander Aitken, the book, Gallipoli to the Somme, and why he put his time into reviving it.
