  • In a war infamous for its military disasters, there were few greater debacles than Gallipoli. Ill-conceived, poorly-planned and dogged by misfortune, the offensive which was supposed to knock Turkey out of the Great War soon subsided into a bloody stalemate. As a result places such as Anzac Cove and Suvla Bay are written large in military folklore.

    You can see from some of the photographs that they were not REALLY beaches in some instances , but just a strp of sand below cliffs which came all the way forward, there was NO way in, exccept to climb the cliffs while under fire. Not all landings were like this, but these were the conditions under which they landed the Australians, expecting them to attack UP a cliff from first go! I am not sure if this is even mentioned in this vid, but you can see the photo's.

    Interesting documentary supporting the claims that British generals and high ranking officers made horrendous miscalculations in the Gallipoli Campaign of WWI. I had just seen an Australian documentary narrated by Hugh Dolan. According to that documentary there were no miscalculations. The Gallipoli Campaign was well thought out and planned with excellent intelligence. The landing at ANZAC Cove were planned out by high ranking Australian commanders. While the British landing at Helles Cape suffered far more casualties. The unsuccessful attack and eventual retreat by British Forces after 8 months of fighting was due to effective Ottoman resistance. Hugh Dolan proposed that British generals did not expect Turkish troops would offer so much resistance to a British invasion. The deciding factor was the determination of Ottoman soldiers who fought tenaciously because they were defending their own homeland of Turkey. I am not sure which documentary to believe. What is the truth? It seems there are many versions about the Gallipoli Campaign.

    British army lost in Gallipoli and in Saudi Arabia against Ottomans. But Britiain love to manipulate history always. Also in Palestine Sheikh Hussein organised a rebellion against Ottomans and passed to British side. Because of betrayal of arabs to Turks, Britain captured Palestine and Jerusalem. Betrayal of Arabs still remembered by Turks and Arabs are not considered as reliable allies for Turks except north africans.
    And gentleman fiight of brave Anzac soldiers are also remembered. And they are respectfully memorised every year in anniversary of Gallipoli war.

    The man at 38 minutes is excluding the indigenous soldiers who fought just as hard and sometimes harder than the white soldiers. Those communities were oppressed and unappreciated by their governments and underestimated by the military, yet they enlisted and fought a war that they felt was important to them. So I don't believe the ANZACs just wanted to go explore and play cowboys and Indians. They felt a duty to something, whether country, brothers in arms, or freedom of man in general. But I guess this is dated documentary, more recent ones don't take the same attitude.
