| Summary |
"On April 25th 1915, an allied army made up of soldiers from Britain, Australia, New Zealand, India and France landed to capture Gallipoli. Turkish soldiers aided by their German allies dug in to defend their homeland. For nine months, opposing armies attacked and counter-attacked each other in a fierce struggle that challenged not only the soldiers' endurance but also their humanity. They battled with each other; with disease; with the harsh climate and terrain; and with the horrors of modern warfare. Despite their hardships, the soldiers hung on with unprecedented dignity, courage, and tenacity. In the end more than 120,000 soldiers lost their lives. This documentary focuses on the diaries and letters of two British, three New Zealand, three Australian and two Turkish soldiers - ordinary men forced by history to do extraordinary things."
