Gallipoli

The landing of 25 April 1915 and everything built on it. Eight thousand seven hundred and nine Australians died in the campaign, and the legend was assembled afterwards, substantially by the war correspondent C.E.W. Bean. The cove, the trenches, the cemeteries, and the commemoration that outgrew the battle.

140 moments in this segment.

1. 1914 - Australia at War 1914–1918 | Rare WWI Footage from Gallipoli to the Western Front. Australia at War 1914, 1918, published by NFSA Film Australia. Australian deaths at Gallipoli numbered 8,709, and the landing took place on 25 April 1915. The footage depicts events of 1914. Filed as a war and commemoration record, from footage of 1914 held by NFSA Film Australia.
2. 1915 - The 11th Battalion on the Great Pyramid. Men of the 11th Battalion, raised in Western Australia, arranged across the stones of the Great Pyramid at Giza on 10 January 1915. They trained in Egypt through the northern winter and were among the first ashore at Anzac Cove on 25 April. In the five days after the landing the battalion took 378 casualties, more than a third of its strength.
3. 1915 - Training at Morphettville Racecourse. Soldiers drilling on a racecourse outside Adelaide, most likely the 10th Battalion raised in South Australia after the outbreak of war. Camps like this stood up an army from nothing in a matter of months. The 10th landed at Anzac Cove in the first wave.
4. 1915 - Commanders at Mena Camp, Egypt. Major General William Bridges, commander of the Australian forces in Egypt, with Sir John Maxwell, General Birdwood and Sir George Reid at the camp below the pyramids. Birdwood commanded the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps at Gallipoli. Bridges was shot by a sniper in Monash Valley in May 1915 and died of the wound.
5. 1915 - The plan for the landing. A map of the intended landing of the 2nd and 3rd Brigades of the Australian 1st Division north of Gaba Tepe, with the first day objectives marked. The force came ashore about a mile north of this, under cliffs the plan had not accounted for. The gap between this map and what happened defines the whole campaign.
6. 1915 - Where the covering force actually landed. A map showing the paths of the first wave and where the 3rd Brigade came ashore on 25 April 1915. The boats grounded against steep broken ground rather than the open slope intended. Units were mixed together within minutes of landing and never fully sorted out that day.
7. 1915 - Leane's annotated landing map. The Gallipoli map carried ashore by Captain Raymond Leane of the 11th Battalion, marked up with Turkish defences and now very fragile. Leane landed north of Ari Burnu at 4.55 am and later fought around Pope's Hill and Courtney's Post. He used the same map on a raid towards Gaba Tepe on 4 May.
8. 1915 - Ottoman Fifth Army dispositions. A map of how the Turkish Fifth Army was positioned before the April landings. The defenders were fewer than the attacking force but held the high ground and had prepared for months. Allied planning had assumed weaker resistance than it met.
9. 1915 - Coming ashore at Anzac Cove. Troops land on the morning of 25 April 1915, with horse boats in the foreground putting mules ashore for Jacob's 26th Indian Mountain Battery. The cruiser HMS Bacchante is heading in behind them. The beach was under fire from the ridges from first light.
10. 1915 - HMS Scourge tows the boats in. The destroyer Scourge pulls a string of open boats towards the shore. Infantry transferred into the boats about 200 yards out and rowed the last stretch themselves. Men were shot in the boats before reaching the sand.
11. 1915 - Sunrise over Chunuk Bair. Boats of the 6th and 7th Battalions pull away from the transports as the sun comes up behind the ridge. Chunuk Bair, the high ground on the skyline, was a first day objective that was never held. The photograph is held by the Australian War Memorial.
12. 1915 - Anzac Beach at eight in the morning. Men of the 4th Battalion and the Indian Mountain Battery come ashore three hours into the landing, with 1st Brigade staff in the foreground. By this hour the beach was already a supply dump and a casualty collecting point. The cove is only a few hundred metres long.
13. 1915 - Arrivals at half past ten. Troops landing at Anzac Beach at 10.30 am on the first day. The narrowness of the foothold is visible: everything landed had to be stacked between the water and the cliff. The image is Australian War Memorial number A00834.
14. 1915 - Waiting below Plugge's Plateau. Soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the Australian Imperial Force sit at the southern edge below Plugge's Plateau, waiting to be told where to go. Confusion about position and objective ran through the whole of 25 April. Many units spent the day fighting alongside strangers.
15. 1915 - Crossing Plugge's Plateau. Men moving across the plateau above the cove after the landing. The ground rises steeply straight off the beach into a maze of gullies and spurs. Australian War Memorial number G00907.
16. 1915 - Artillery lands at Gaba Tepe. Gunners of the 5th Battery, 3rd Field Artillery Brigade come ashore beside one of their 18 pounder guns. Getting artillery onto the position and finding anywhere to site it was a persistent problem given the terrain. The photograph is Australian War Memorial number P00046.026.
17. 1915 - Manhandling guns up the slope. Artillerymen haul guns into position the day after the landing. There were no roads and no draught animals to spare, so the work was done by hand on gradients that made it barely possible. Australian War Memorial number G00918.
18. 1915 - First dressing station in Monash Gully. The 7th Battalion's first field dressing station on 25 April was a natural hole in the ground in Monash Gully. Many of the earliest wounded were brought here. Australian War Memorial number H15233.
19. 1915 - The ground above Quinn's Post. Harold Arthur Barker photographed the position covering Quinn's Post and the tangle of trenches known as the Chessboard on the first day. Quinn's was the most exposed point in the Anzac line, with the opposing trenches metres apart. Holding it was the difference between a foothold and a collapse.
20. 1915 - Tending the wounded on the shore. A view of Anzac Cove shortly after the landing, with wounded Australians being treated on the sand. Casualty evacuation ran back down the same paths that supplies came up. The beach was within range of Turkish artillery for the entire campaign.
21. 1915 - The encampment at Anzac Cove. New Zealand soldiers' tents and dugouts packed into the slope above the beach. Men lived in cut holes in the hillside for eight months. The whole Anzac position was never more than a few hundred acres.
22. 1915 - Bridges at his first headquarters. C. E. W. Bean photographed lunch at General Bridges' first headquarters on 3 May 1915, with Gellibrand, Howse, Blamey and White among those present. The position was exposed to shrapnel and Gellibrand was wounded there. Bridges himself was mortally wounded twelve days later.
23. 1915 - In the front line trench. Australian soldiers in the trenches at Anzac Cove. Trench lines here were dug into crumbling soil on slopes too steep for conventional field engineering. The photograph is held by the State Library of Victoria.
24. 1915 - The periscope rifle, October 1915. A rifle rigged with mirrors so it could be fired over the parapet without exposing the shooter, photographed on 11 October 1915. The inscription on the back carries the initials of Joseph Cecil Thompson, presumed to be the photographer. The device was developed at Anzac by Lance Corporal William Beech and copied along the line.
25. 1915 - Firing blind over the parapet. Men working a periscope rifle in a Gallipoli trench in 1915, from the Alexander Turnbull Library collection. Opposing trenches at points like Quinn's Post were close enough that raising a head meant being shot. The invention was a direct response to that geometry.
26. 1915 - Bombproofs at Quinn's Post. New Zealand soldiers building bombproof shelters, with Dead Man's Ridge on the left skyline and a chute for removing spoil from the mine workings in the foreground. Both sides tunnelled under each other's positions here and detonated charges. Dead Man's Ridge was fought over repeatedly without changing hands.
27. 1915 - Plan of the trenches at Quinn’s Post. Sapper Ronald McInnis drew this plan of Quinn's Post as it stood in November and December 1915, showing every trench, sap and tunnel. It also marks the sleeping terraces set up by Lieutenant Colonel William Malone of the Wellington Battalion. Quinn's was the most advanced post in the Anzac line and its loss would have opened the whole position.
28. 1915 - The armistice of 24 May 1915. Dead Australian and Turkish soldiers in a trench, probably at Quinn's Post or the Nek, photographed during the armistice of 24 May 1915. Both sides agreed to a pause to bury the dead lying between the lines after the failed Turkish attack of 19 May. The glass stereograph is held by the State Library of New South Wales.
29. 1915 - Inside a captured trench at Lone Pine. C. E. W. Bean photographed Australians of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions in a Turkish trench taken during the Battle of Lone Pine on 10 August 1915. The trench is roofed with pine logs against shrapnel and grenades, which meant the attackers had to break in through the roof. Bean was the official correspondent and later wrote the official history.
30. 1915 - The 1st Brigade at Lone Pine. Infantry of the Australian 1st Brigade in a captured Turkish trench on 6 August 1915, with men of the 7th Battalion also present. Lone Pine was launched as a diversion for the August offensive against the Sari Bair range. Seven Victoria Crosses were awarded for the three days of fighting there.
31. 1915 - After the battle at Lone Pine. Australian and Turkish dead lie on the parapet of a trench at Lone Pine. Captain Leslie Morshead of the 2nd Battalion stands in the foreground with Private James Bryant of the 8th Battalion at his right. Morshead commanded at Tobruk in the next war; Bryant won the Military Medal in 1918 and survived three years as a prisoner in the second.
32. 1915 - Trench plan of Lone Pine. A plan of the Lone Pine trenches in late August 1915 and their connection to the position known as the Pimple, with the Australian lines drawn in. Underground saps were pushed out towards the Turkish line before the assault. Reading the plan shows how little ground the attack actually took.
33. 1915 - Captain Alfred Shout. Born in Wellington in 1881, Shout paid his own way to South Africa to fight in the Boer War before settling in Sydney. He was awarded the Victoria Cross for bombing his way along a Turkish trench at Lone Pine in August 1915 and was fatally wounded doing it. His was one of seven Victoria Crosses given for Lone Pine.
34. 1915 - Simpson and his donkey. John Simpson Kirkpatrick was a stretcher bearer who landed on 25 April 1915, found a donkey, and spent three and a half weeks carrying wounded men down to the beach under fire. He was killed on 19 May 1915, aged 23. He had enlisted partly in the hope of being sent back to England, where he was born.
35. 1915 - Kitchener visits Russell's Top. Lord Kitchener with General Birdwood at Russell's Top during his inspection of the Anzac position in November 1915. Kitchener came to judge whether the campaign could continue. The decision to evacuate followed within weeks.
36. 1915 - Cornwallis fires over Suvla. The Royal Navy battleship HMS Cornwallis fires a broadside during the evacuation of Suvla in December 1915. She was the last Allied ship to leave the bay. Naval gunfire covered the withdrawal that the landing had been meant to support.
37. 1915 - The evacuation, December 1915. More than 100,000 men were taken off Anzac Cove and Suvla Bay between 15 and 20 December 1915, with the last troops leaving Helles on 9 January 1916. The withdrawal was the best executed operation of the campaign and cost almost no casualties. The dead stayed: Australian deaths at Gallipoli numbered 8,709, alongside 2,721 New Zealanders and, by this account, 87,000 Turks and 44,000 British and French.
38. 1915 - A cartoonist marks the evacuation. Hal Eyre's caricature shows an Ottoman soldier finding the Anzac position empty, captioned as an advertisement: delightful summer residence, sea views. Australian newspapers turned the successful withdrawal into a joke at Turkish expense. The campaign it ended had failed at every objective.
39. 1915 - A charge near a Turkish trench. An American archival print captioned as Australian troops charging a Turkish trench shortly before the evacuation. Photographs from Gallipoli circulated with captions applied long after the fact, and many attributions are uncertain. This one is held by the United States National Archives.
40. 1915 - The first wounded reach Mena House. Medical officers of No. 2 Australian General Hospital, established in the Mena House hotel in Egypt, photographed with the first group of wounded back from Gallipoli in May 1915. Names written on the print identify Springthorpe, Barton, Martin and others. The casualty flow from the landing overwhelmed the arrangements made for it.
41. 1915 - Swimming off the beach. Soldiers in the water after coming down from the trenches. Swimming at Anzac was one of the few reliefs available and was done under intermittent shellfire. Several men were killed while bathing.
42. 1915 - The River Clyde runs ashore. The converted collier River Clyde approaches V Beach at Cape Helles on 25 April 1915, cut with sally ports so men could run out along lighters. The British landings at Helles happened the same morning as the Anzac landing further north. Casualties at V Beach were severe enough that the water was reported discoloured.
43. 1915 - V Beach seen from the River Clyde. A watercolour of V Beach and the fort at Sedd el Bahr, drawn from the deck of the beached collier on 25 April 1915. The work is held by the Royal Museums Greenwich. It shows the ground the British 29th Division had to cross under fire from the fort.
44. 1915 - A French gun at Gallipoli. A French 240 millimetre fortress gun firing towards the Asiatic shore of the Dardanelles. France committed a full division to the Helles sector. The campaign is remembered in Australia as an Australian event, and was in fact a multinational operation in which Australians were a minority.
45. 1915 - Resting on Suvla Plain, August 1915. Soldiers rest during the advance across the Suvla Plain at four in the afternoon on 21 August 1915. The Suvla landings of August were meant to break the deadlock and did not. It was the last major Allied attempt on the peninsula.
46. 1916 - Turkish prisoners at Maadi station. Ottoman prisoners taken during the Gallipoli campaign, photographed at Maadi railway station outside Cairo during transfer. Prisoners went back down the same route as the wounded. The image is held by the State Library of Queensland.
47. 1916 - Robinson maps the battlefield, 1916. A topographic map published by H. E. C. Robinson in 1916 marking Anzac and Turkish posts, trenches, tracks and the approximate landing places. It covers the ground from north of Bauchop's Hill to Wine Glass Ridge. Commercial maps like this let people at home follow a campaign that had already ended.
48. 1916 - The Turkish survey of the Anzac area. One of 43 sheets surveyed by the Turkish Mapping Directorate under Brigadier General Mehmet Sevki Pasa after the evacuation. The Ottoman army mapped in detail the ground it had just successfully defended. These sheets are among the most accurate records of the trench systems.
49. 1919 - Collecting bones on Hill 60, 1919. Local Greek boys stand beside human remains they have gathered on Hill 60 above Anzac Cove, four years after the fighting. W. J. Brunell made the photograph in 1919. Graves registration units worked over the peninsula for years afterwards, and many of the dead were never identified.
50. 1920 - Lambert paints the covering force. George Washington Lambert painted the 3rd Infantry Brigade climbing the seaward slope of Plugge's Plateau between 1920 and 1922, working from the ground itself after the war. The yellow pinnacle is The Sphinx, with Walker's Ridge beyond leading to Russell's Top. Each man carries a white bag holding the two days of rations issued specially for the landing.
51. 1942-02-19 - [Bombing of Darwin 19 February 1942]. 19 February 1942, with the official death toll given as 236 and historians proposing a range up to about 297. The footage depicts events of 1942. Filed as a war and commemoration record, from footage of 1942 held by AWM Collection.
52. 1942 - Kokoda Front Line! | 1942 | Documentary | Peter Bathurst & Damien Parer. Kokoda Front Line, published by Documentary Archive. Japan decided against invading Australia in February 1942 and undertook no planning or preparation for it. The footage depicts events of 1942. Filed as a war and commemoration record, from footage of 1942 held by Documentary Archive.
53. 1942 - Kokoda Front Line! (1942) - Australia’s first Oscar-winning film. 1942 and undertook no planning or preparation for it. The footage depicts events of 1942. Filed as a war and commemoration record, from footage of 1942 held by Old Australia Archives.
54. 1954 - Anzac Day 1954 at the Australian War Memorial. 1916 and observed by all Australian states together from 1927. The footage depicts events of 1954. Filed as a war and commemoration record, from footage of 1954 held by AWM Collection.
55. 1981 - Peter Weir talks about 'Gallipoli' on The Mike Walsh Show, 1981. 8,709, and the landing took place on 25 April 1915. The footage depicts events of 1981. Filed as a war and commemoration record, from footage of 1981 held by NFSA Online.
56. 1983 - 'Anzac Ceremony 1983' by Turkish-Australian poet Halee Isil Cosar | Earshot. 'Anzac Ceremony 1983' by Turkish-Australian poet Halee Isil Cosar, published by ABC News (Australia). Australian deaths at Gallipoli numbered 8,709, and the landing took place on 25 April 1915. The footage depicts events of 1983. Filed as a war and commemoration record, from footage of 1983 held by ABC News (Australia).
57. 2002 - Lone Pine cemetery and memorial. The Australian memorial and cemetery on the ground taken in August 1915. The memorial carries the names of Australians and New Zealanders who died in the Anzac sector and have no known grave. The site is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
58. 2004 - The Man with the Donkey, Melbourne. A memorial to Simpson at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne. The story became one of the fixed points of the Anzac legend, retold in schools for a century. Historians have since noted how much of the legend's shape was set by wartime and postwar retelling rather than by the record.
59. 2005 - The Garland mortar. An improvised mortar used by Australians at Gallipoli, held in the Australian War Memorial collection as RELAWM07849. Shortage of proper trench weapons forced troops to make their own, including jam tin bombs. The Garland was a locally designed answer to the same problem.
60. 2006 - Shrapnel Valley cemetery. The cemetery in the valley below Plugge's Plateau, photographed from the path towards the plateau. The valley was the main route from the beach to the front line and was shelled constantly, which is how it got its name. More than 600 men are buried there.
61. 2006 - Major Hugh Quinn's headstone. The grave of Major Hugh Quinn in Shrapnel Valley. Quinn commanded at the post that carries his name and was killed there on 29 May 1915 leading a counterattack. The post was held for the rest of the campaign.
62. 2006 - A Lone Pine in Wattle Park. A Pinus brutia in Wattle Park, Melbourne, with a plaque recording that it was grown from Gallipoli Lone Pine seed in remembrance of fallen comrades of the 24th Battalion. Trees like this made the battlefield locally present in suburbs and country towns. The practice continued for decades after the war.
63. 2009 - A Lone Pine at the War Memorial. A pine at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, one of several trees grown from seed connected to the Gallipoli battlefield. The original tree at Lone Pine was a Pinus brutia, destroyed in the fighting. Descendant trees were planted at memorials across Australia through the twentieth century.
64. 2009-10-26 - Film Collection Online: Moments in Time (silent). ), published by Australian War Memorial. Australian deaths at Gallipoli numbered 8,709, and the landing took place on 25 April 1915. Filed as a war and commemoration record, posted by Australian War Memorial in 2009.

76. 2012 - Beach Cemetery at Hell Spit. A small Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery at the southern end of Anzac Cove, on the point the troops called Hell Spit. Men were buried here from the first days of the landing, in ground within reach of shellfire. Simpson is among those buried in it.
77. 2012 - The Turkish soldier memorial. A monument on the peninsula showing a Turkish soldier carrying a wounded enemy. It was inspired by an account given by Australian Governor General Lord Casey, who had served at Gallipoli as a lieutenant, of a Turkish soldier carrying a wounded British soldier across to the Allied trench during a lull. Casey told the story on a visit to the peninsula in 1967.
78. 2012 - A gun left behind on the peninsula. The barrel of a QF 4.7 inch naval gun used by Allied forces and abandoned when the peninsula was evacuated, now displayed at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. Heavy equipment that could not be moved quietly was left in place or destroyed. The secrecy of the withdrawal depended on it.
79. 2012 - A Japanese trench mortar at Anzac. One of four Japanese built 75mm trench mortars supplied to Australian and New Zealand troops on the peninsula, displayed at the Australian War Memorial. Japan was an Allied power in the First World War. The weapon is a reminder that the campaign drew on supply chains far outside Europe.
80. 2012 - The Gallipoli gallery in Canberra. A display case in the Australian War Memorial's Gallipoli gallery, including a souvenir booklet marking the departure of the first convoy of troopships. The Memorial was conceived by C. E. W. Bean, who had reported the campaign from the peninsula. Its holdings are the reason so much of this material survives.

90. 2014 - The Gallipoli historical park. The Gallipoli Peninsula Historical Site covers more than 33,000 hectares and was established by the Turkish government in 1973. It holds the cemeteries and memorials of all the combatant nations. The peninsula is the site of a Turkish national narrative as much as an Australian one.
91. 2014 - Anzac Cove now. The beach and the ridge behind it, photographed from the water. The scale of the ground is the first thing visitors report: the whole Anzac position is smaller than expected. The road along the shore was built later and cut into part of the original beach.
