Summary: "Under the Red Crescent" by Charles S. Ryan and John Sandes is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work recounts the adventures of an Australian surgeon, Charles S. Ryan, during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78, detailing his experiences with the Turkish army, particularly at the battles of Plevna and Erzeroom. As Ryan shares his journey, readers are introduced to the complexities of military life, the cultural confrontations he encounters, and his dedication to the soldiers and civilians affected by war. The opening of "Under the Red Crescent" serves as a personal introduction, where Ryan reflects on his motivations for joining the Turkish army and his transition from civilian life in Melbourne to becoming a military surgeon. He details his travels across Europe, driven by a sense of adventure and the desire to contribute to a cause. This section also touches on his first experiences with the Ottoman culture and the challenges posed by language barriers while forging connections with his fellow soldiers. The narrative sets the stage for the subsequent battles, highlighting Ryan's initial impressions and the rigorous, often chaotic life of a surgeon in wartime, as well as his growing appreciation for the resilience and camaraderie among the troops.
