Rewriting Gallipoli: The forgotten ANZAC engineers of World War One | 60 Minutes Australia

This story will change history and force the experts to rewrite the story of Gallipoli. For all that’s been reported about the ANZAC campaign, there’s one rather glaring omission, and it’s about the most significant part of the whole operation: the landing itself. Who were the first Australians ashore? Official accounts say that 1500 infantrymen from the AIF 3rd Brigade made up the first wave. But this Sunday, 60 Minutes will reveal that the first men to set foot on Gallipoli were 150 Australian army engineers, sappers as they’re called, who until now have never been recognised.
