You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well. Ataturk of Turkey
It’s crazy to think that my great grandmother was in a similar position. Her fiance was killed at Gallipoli, and my eventual great grandfather was wounded there and evacuated home. They got married 10 years after the war and here I am. He suffered from his wounds for the rest of his life and died in his forties. Lest We Forget.
The tragedy of war, the pain, the fear, the loss; it should never be underestimated or glamourised. The bleakness of lost loved ones is never forgotten.
Retired US Military. My friends and I sing of Gallipoli whenever we get together and break out our guitars. Amazing sacrifice and glorious dedication to duty. Long live Australia! Salute.
Err not just Australia. New Zealand British French Canada And Newfoundland. To name but a few. And not to forget the regiments from India. Lest we forget.
That letter by Catherine Porter. Heart wrenching. May all those brave souls, Rest in peace. Praying that none of us ever have to go through experiences like these.
As an American, of course I've known that Australia participated with the Allies in WW1 for as long as I can remember, but I was not aware of the significance of Gallipoli specifically. Glad to have learned!
Up to 15,000 Indians fought with allied troops at Gallipoli, but their contribution remains relatively unknown and unrecognised in Australia and their homeland, research has found.
Pray for their eternal peace with our Lord. Hope to soon the day will arrive that the world knows more of your fighting men. Unfortunately for their loved ones there was no peace. No World War or other wars ever delivered complete peace. Look at what we now have, 🇺🇦 Ukrainians fighting another war from Russia. Pray for world peace.
What a waste of lives .. I wouldn't be here today if Turks didn't manage to defend themselves as I'm of Turk origin. Here is one of Ataturk's quotes. “Heroes who shed their blood and lost their lives! You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours. You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.” ― Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
“It’s as if the sadness of the 1st World war is like a virus, and u can catch it if u handle this material” Very touching, and sure had me crying. Well done. When that old fella was tearing up at the end… gosh darn, I almost couldn’t take it. Also, that private white could sure write a love note. although, the first thing I thought of when she had scratched out that paragraph… private white was WW1 sexting. Guaranteed. I say that with some experience writing (well in this case emails) letters back home.
Thank you, amazing documentray. Wow, not a lot of love shown regarding the Royals or the historical war planners and decision makers. And damn fair enough. After all, soldiers were just a meat barrier. But your documentary also shows that so many other people were affected too.
Very tragic for you and your family. Losing a dear loved one at such- a young age of 19. Pray that 🙏he didn't suffer and our Lord took him to heaven and rest in eternal peace.
@@annecinturati2794 that's nice of you, I never knew him, obviously, but I am grateful for what he and two further great uncles sacrificed in that dreadful war.
Benim anneannemin 7 kardeşide Geliboludan dönememiş , mezarları yok . Onlar orada Anzaklarla koyun koyuna huzur içinde uyuyorlar. Sizler onlar için kaygı duymayın. Onlar ülkemde rahatsız edilmez. Kahramanlara saygı duyuyoruz!
Yes yet they have no skin in the game are not held accountable neither responsible for the harm there decisions cause. If they were to create a policy where all politicians that agree to war must send someone in there immediate family to go to war as well.
There would be almost no battle if the GD leaders had to lead the charge! So you think this is a good plan? We’ll lead on great leader! Payton did as did Bradley. Payton slept on the ground at the front with his men. No wonder he developed plans that worked.

I mean, they state outright that they're following the landing of one Australian soldier - and the two did not land at the same beaches or see much intermixing of their formations. Also, the presenter lays out early on that his ancestor was Scottish, and was wounded during the battle. Why focus your ire solely on the exclusion of the Welsh? Irish, Scottish, and English soldiers all made landings, alongside commonwealth troopers from India and Canada, as well as allied French and their own colonial troops from Africa. Arrayed against them were conscripts and volunteers from across the whole of the Ottoman Empire, with German advisors and a handful of German infantry as well; all shared in the hardships, tragedies, and deprivations of combat in that inhospitable place.
@@SlyBlu7 because nobody ever talks about the Welsh regiments there. And it's not 'focusing my ire' as you so eloquently and incorrectly phrase it. Constantly we are told that it was only the ANZACs at Gallipoli and it was the ANZACs that were killed in their droves and categorically that is false.
@@DidMyGrandfatherMakeThis I asked why you focus on the absence of Welsh specifically. It seems you're personally invested. It's unfortunate, but it's run-of-the-mill. We never hear much about the ANZACs who fought on the Somme, at Messines, Passchendael, Ypres, or Amiens. Over 50% of Australian casualties were suffered on the Western Front, and they suffered the highest casualty rates of any Commonwealth forces with 65% of their active troops killed or wounded. We likewise hear very little about the French involvement in the evacuation of Dunkirk in WW2. Americans rarely talk about the British and Canadian landings on D-Day. Rarely are the Soviets ever mentioned in any discussion of the larger war effort. I understand the frustration, and I do wish that there was a separate Timeline documentary focusing on the landings at Cape Helles, where the British and French went ashore. But I understand why so much of the discourse revolves around the Australians and New Zealanders at Gallipoli.
The way he was describing the painting. About how the creator wanted to have all the soldiers faces obscured to show that its the higher powers that have forced these men into action. Nothing has changed since people have learnt how to walk.
Indeed very impressive individual and well presented stories. No doubt about this. Gallipoli was needless as all of the meat grinders of the great war. After all Gallipoli was important to Mustafa Kemal Pascha's fame and future career. He and his successful campains in Gallipoli and east Anatolia are a key to the shape of modern Turkey. So when memorating about the "shape of a nation" then Turkey - and Ataturk's Young Turkish - must be mentioned first an foremost. Surprisingly I didn't catch a word about them in the whole film. In fact this documentary transports a narrow (nationalistic) and lopsided view.
How military tradition has changed since. Gallipoli is The Example of unethical executive decision making: untrained conscripts; distant, unmotivated politicians; poorly appointed, unengaged officers. The memorial is the discordant reminder of what those past choices now mean.
Commonwealth union, a point less war resulting in deaths of over 16 million people, again blame Germany for getting the ingredients to pull other nations in to both WW's - twice
At the end I had to salute him, and call him a bloody idiot. When will Australians realise War is the way of Kings and Queens and finally escape England's apron strings. Be the nation of Diggers - the true Levelers
What a way to view the Gallipoli landings through a story of a boy and girl. Pathetic. That was nothing new as there were millions of men with girl friends who went to war. Bleeding heart history.
Poorly done documentary sorry to say. I came away not knowing what the battle was even about or why it occurred in the first place. I mean no disrespect for the soldiers who fought and died there.
I don’t appreciate that Timeline has added these History Hits advertisements with Dan to all their videos and I am considering canceling my subscription since I pay extra for Premium TH-cam to avoid ads. I am not interested in Dan’s new channel and I consider his ads a waster of my time and am offended that they have gotten around the removal of ads to Premium subscribers by adding ads at the beginning of every video. Sure, I can and do fast-forward past Dan, but I don’t appreciate it and therefore every video, regardless of quality of content, will get a thumbs down from now on.

This is quite moving. Beautifully done and a fine tribute to those brave souls who so many years ago lost their lives in that campaign.

Don’t worry I’m sure the Australians don’t believe even Turks fought at Gallipoli
You rarely hear of those from Newfoundland who fought there.

Brave service people from Oz and the commonwealth, UK fighting a pointless European originated war. RIP to the brave souls.
Read up proper history of WW1 and you will realise it wasn’t pointless. Australian military history is narcissistic and incestuous.
I adore these Memorial documentaries.
I cant understand how anyone would possibly wish for their fiance to move on without him. To forget and ignore that love is so depressing
I can highly recommend the movie "Canakkale", telling the Turkish story of the campaign....
