A wartime account recalls the April 26 Gallipoli landing where Anzac forces, including Australians and New Zealanders, faced Turkish fire at Gaba Tepe. The operation aimed to distract Turkish defenses with feints while securing a foothold on the rugged peninsula amid heavy shelling and sustained fighting through day and night.
The article recounts Gallipoli battles and the toll of August fighting at Hill 60, noting 12000 casualties over five days. It traces Turkish stalemate, Hamilton and Munro leadership, and the shift to French front by March 1916. It highlights Anzac contributions, Pozieres siege, Boulecourt, and the origin of Anzac Day observations in Australia.
