The Russo–Japanese War (1904–05) was fought between the Russian Empire and the Empire of Japan over rival imperial ambitions in Manchuria and Korea. The major theatres of operations were the Liaodong Peninsula and Mukden in Southern Manchuria and the seas around Korea, Japan and the Yellow Sea. The Battle/Blockade/Siege of Port Arthur was the major engagement of the War. Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett was an English war correspondent during the First World War. Through his reporting of the Battle of Gallipoli he was instrumental in the birth of the Anzac legend which still dominates military history in Australia and New Zealand. Twelve years previously Ashmead-Bartlett arrived in Manchuria to report the Russo-Japanese War. " As we have probably witnessed old-fashioned assaults and close-order formations for the last time, it has been one of my chief objects to place on record the obsolete method of fighting which characterised the Siege." (from the preface)
