That epitaph by Mustafa Kemal Attaturk is just so beautiful. 😢 It just shows that nations may go to war, but the common people who have to do the fighting generally have a great respect for each other.
Well it has a lot to do with why this day was chosen. It is no celebration or glorification of war. The Turks and ANZACs had no beef with each other, but we all died for a cause that really didn't affect us either.
@@muharebe_istasyonu Sorry I didn't mean it that way. Our two countries had no beef with each other. We were only there because the British told us to be. But if we had not gone there, you would not have come looking for us either if that makes sense. The fact that the average ANZAC had more respect for Turkish troops than their own commanding officers is very telling
@@muharebe_istasyonuWe Serbs had resonable cause to fight against Turks because Turks are our invaders for several centuries. Even Istanbul (or Constantinopol) was invaded by Turks and becomed part of Turkey by force.
That was excellent. I learned so much. Those soldiers on both sides were incredibly tough and brave. Ataturk's statement is a testimony to his respect to the soldiers of both sides.
Thank You for making this video for ANZAC day. More and more people disregard and dishonour these brave men. As long as Australians still keep the vigil on the 25th of April each year they will not be forgotten. Edit: I would never forget New Zealand, only have my experience as an Australian.
No one I know of or have seen disregards or dishonours these men. Not sure WTF you’re talking about. If anything, it’s the complete opposite. There is a lot of somber respect.
We Turks are waiting for you every year, our brothers from Australia and New Zealand, we come not only for the commemoration but also for the holiday. Our fighting ability is fierce, but our friendship and generosity are endless.
We will come each year but in peace and respect. I had two from my family land at Gallipoli. Both went on to fight in France . Australians have respected Turkish sovereignty and Soldiers ever since.
I am a history teacher in Australia and had the great privilege of teaching my year 9 students about World War 1 this term and the present ANZAC Day ceremonies that happen at Gallipoli Cove. The ANZAC sacrifice is so tragic, sad and for such a significant part, the losses so unwarranted. My students so admired the fact that the people who defeated the Gallipoli campaign were people that were defending their land, their people, their home. They then couldn’t believe that people that were attacked on their own home soil could be so welcoming, understanding and so gracious as to welcome the descendants and countrymen of those who had attempted to invade their land, to commemorate those who died trying to do that, year after year. The Turkish people demonstrate a respect and dignity that is truly beautiful each year they allow foreigners onto their soil to commemorate those who died trying to fell their countrymen. It was such a sad campaign for both sides of the conflict. While we never forget or truly understand what it may have been like to be there in 1915, know that young people in Australia are still taught about it and that they respect the Turkish people for the defence of their own country and the enormous respect they show us on ANZAC Day.

Superb video of the Anzac Campaign released today on Anzac Day... back from the dawn service and found this... Thank You for making this video... probably the most concise I've seen...
My Grandads uncle died on Chunuk Bair. He was in the Auckland Infantry and his body was never found. His cousin was in the Auckland Mounted Rifles and is buried at Ari Burnu cemetery at Anzac cove
@@jammyscouser2583 My condolences for your uncle. I hope such pain never happens again. That person who commented is a complete idiot. Turks like that are very few. As a Turk, I know history well and as dear Ataturk said, I say that the Johns who died there are no different from our Mehmets.
I am from Kastamonu, a province in the Black Sea region of Türkiye. The only high school at that time in my province, Abdurrahman Pasha High School, was unable to graduate any students between 1914 and 1918 because all 120 of its students went to fight in the Gallipoli Campaign. Very few of those children and others who went to the war from this region were able to return. In fact, the famous folk song about this war, the "Çanakkale Türküsü," though the true author is unknown, is also from this region.
It was not the landing that was important. Nor was it the retreat before dawn months later. It was what happened during the months of battle that made the legend. We are not an arrogant people. We do not celebrate victories. We remember the fighting and the acts of heroism, comradeship and loss that we cannot forget. Anzac Day is our Memorial Day. Its not a holiday of fun, but a day of remembrance and quiet reflection. For many it's a day to weep. From enemies at the beginning of WW1 with Turkey and Germany, when we withdrew after stalemate, and the Turks took our fallen into their arms in admiration. Three times as many Turks lost their lives as we did at Gallipoli. Now out nations are bound together in mutual respect. As Emil Ataturk said, "...You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway 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."
All of these videos are of a quality like no others iv yet to see on TH-cam and iv seen many.. Just incredible , the background. The plans. The personal story's of real men with faces to put to,. Just magnificent. Exceptionally well done.. As good as they get on these subjects. I applaud you for the remarkable work...
My Grandfather landed on the first morning with the Australian 1st Div, 1st Bty, 1st Field Artillery Brigade. His Battery was the only 18pdr that remained ashore for the entire day, firing upwards of 500 shells ... silencing the Turkish Guns that were firing on the landing zone of the beach head. He survived 4 more months on Gallipoli before removal to a Hospital Ship for disentary. After recovering in England he was taken on strength and continued with the Australian 1st Division in France until the end of the war in 1918. What he saw and survived ... unthinkable!
A fantastic documentary, thank you. I visited Gallipoli and when you’re there you really appreciate how steep the hills are - advancing up them under fire would surely have seemed an impossible task. My great great uncle also lies at Ari Burnu cemetery, having died of wounds 11 Dec 1915. Lest we forget.
Thanks so much for this excellent video. My great uncle Charlie was among those 3rd Bde diggers ashore in the early hours of the 25th April, a member of 10th Battalion. To see so many names that he would have fought with has been quite surreal, in a very good way. Very much appreciated 🇦🇺
We had a memorial service for ANZAC day in London believing Australian and New Zealanders god bless all those who died, Churchill was war mad, he made many mistakes, my grandfather died in the First World War, my dad was wounded in the 2 world war very good film to understand what really happened, than you from Britain 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Best presentation of the anzac landings I have seen so far. I am especially impressed by the inclusion of mehmet şefik and the 27th regiment's actions which are largely ignored.
Anzac Day ceremonies are held every year in Le Quesnoy, Flers and Longueval, on the nearest Sunday to 25 April. The French also remember. Lest we forget.
Had goosebumos as i started watching this with the clock here ticking into ANZAC day... AT GOING DOWN TO SLEEP AND IN THE MORNING I WILL REMEMBER. LEST I FORGOT RIP TO ALL WHO FELL FRIEND AND FOE, ALL THOSE WHO FOUGHT AND DIED DURING THAT GALLIPOLI CAMPAIGN, ASWELL AS EVERY ANZAC SOLIDER WHO HAVE GIVEN THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE THERE AFTER. LEST WE FORGET 🍻
What a tremendous waste of thousands of young lives, as was much of the entirety of the great war, although thats simply a massive misnomer. Excellent video, Bravo Zulu on doing such a great job.
I am a new subscriber. I am sorry to have not discovered you before. Excellent efforts. This is my second viewing of your efforts. Keep up the great work please. This is the first viewing of the Aussies my favourite as an Aussie. Thank you. We do punch above our size by necessity.
The order that turned the momentum to Ottoman favor “I don't order you to attack,” he said. “I order you to die. By the time we are dead, other units and commanders will have come up to take our place.” Mustafa Kemal Atatürk who gave that order to the soldiers re-captured the hills. He also moved his divison and 57th against the orders he was given earlier, knowing ANZACs would land on those exact areas but ignored by Limon Von Sanders and Pro-German Ottoman officers.
That is a beautiful memorial statement that was read at the end of the video. I actually got a bit misty eyed. Also, the country of Turkey does have a special place in my heart as I lived there for about 2 years when my USAF enlisted dad was stationed at Incirlik Air Force Base in the southern region of Turkey during the early 1980s.
My great uncle Private Cyril Weller Thompson aged 20,a bootmaker from Inglewood,Victoria, Australia,lies at lone pine,Gallipoli,where he was killed in action,10/8/1915,every Anzac day,l remember him
This is an absolutely first class video. I watched your video about Oradur- Sur-Glane , and sad though it was , the presentation was brilliant. Thank you very much indeed.
Superb video. I learned a bit about the Gallipoli campaign before, but learned much more here. Lots of good information. Great overview of the first day of the battle, especially the movements of the troops, the landings, the strategies, and the difficulties that both sides faced. I like how you include the testimonies too and had very helpful maps. Great work. Take care.
Hi I came to this video after hearing the song " The band played waltzing Matilda " I wanted to to see how the battle played out . This video has been very informative and well explained. Thanks for making it ,I now know what happened and when . Many thanks Frank
Amazing video! The birds eye view videos really help see the terrain better than all the paper maps and computer graphics can do alone. Looking forward so much to the next installment!
Wow, that statement by Ataturk nearly brought a tear to my eye. As a Brit i genuinely love both the Australians and the New Zealanders. I have always seen us, Canada and the American splitters (😂) as one big family.
my grandad was there lost his life under heavy machine gun fire , left my nan and four kids to feed,,, Churchills human cannon fodder,,,,,,,,,,, GOD BLESS THE FALLEN RIP XXX
This is an interesting and informative video. I particularly like the overhead shots showing the topographical features. I've been to the area three times including trips to Cape Helles and Suvla Bay. I did the trips in the 1990s going before and after the tragic bush fire.
My great great great grandfather was there maybe he was a ANZAC that place is a piece of history for Australia and New Zealand as a fellow Australian like myself in respectful to all ANZACS who died and survived
As an American that hobby-studies English and European history, I can't imagine a more despised man in the ANZAC community that Sir Winston Churchill. Personally, I admire many things about him, but, I doubt there was ever a kind word said about him, after Gallipoli.
It’s brilliant idea that the audience of Turkish commanders voiced by Turkish person, but he is not able to speak fluently, I am here to serve our common history as a voicer for next time :) Amazing job! Appreciated!
It didn't really. British Intelligence had already done an extensive study in 1906 (google British Naval Intelligence Study 1906 and you can read the report for yourself) that predicted, with scary accuracy, what would happen if they tried to force the straits by Sea or Land in the event of war with the Ottomans. This information was well known yet the War Council ignored it ... and nearly everything the study predicted in 1906 happened in 1915.
That is so sad why they do that today in school we learn at school anzac day and we stand still then we give respect to the people who died I hope you rest and peace
My maternal grandfather took part in the later landing at Suvla Bay as a private in the Somerset Light Infantry. He was wounded, losing an eye. Evacuated back to England via a stay in Malta. It's strange to think I'm just two generations from this battle.
I continue to wonder why there wasn’t a concentration landing a bit further north onto the plains where an army could more easily concentrate and utilize artillery. Then having units going into the ridge country to help secure flanks and threaten the enemy from the heights would be a very difficult situation. Is there detail as to why a strategy similar to that wasn’t undertaken?
I have a great granddad and he was a soldier and his names was Clive (I think that’s how his name was spelled) but if only I knew what he achieved during the war or rather what battle he was in I would be happy knowing who he was with the mates rest in peace Clive
I cant find Alfred Perry you mention from the 10th Battalion. But I can find Albert Perry 525 who was 32 when he enlisted from broken hill. Where can I read his journal thats referenced in this documentary? Thanks
I really wonder at what Maclagan was thinking - Hamilton’s orders stressed the importance of the Sari Bair ridge, yet this was ignored. Further Maclagan ordered digging in on the SEAWARD edge of Second Ridge, these actions dooming the bridgehead as a stalemate. Keep in mind in the first 24 hours nearly 24000 Anzacs had been landed opposed by a mere 4000 Ottomans.
Wonderful historical coverage video about Gelupuli war 1916 was that the British Empire campaign failed to occupy the Gelepoli peninsula ...stubborn, fanatic resistance of Ottoman empire troops rescued military attitude for Ottoman empire favor. I think the campaign ( amphibians mission) failed from the first moment for two reasons 1- firepowers of ANZAC troops was not decisive due to lack of machine guns and artillery covered. 2- Generally amphibians campaigning is not practiced upon previous naval failure results. surprises Eliminate was lost
Ben Türk'üm. Benim Dedem Çanakkale Savaşına katıldı ve sağ döndü. Evet unutmayacağız ve unutturmayacağız. Biz işgal için gelen herkes ile savaşmaya her zaman hazırız, en zayıf zamanımız da bile.
Yep, that’s what the film has said. Two divisions involved in this landing, the 1st Australian that came ashore first, followed up by the NZ&A Division later that morning. Many of the New Zealanders didn’t complete their landing until the afternoon of that first day.
Very good video, very informative with the mappings, one movie I had watched called The Water Diviner with Russell crowe, about him trying to find his three sons after they went off to Gallipoli, the battle scenes took me by surprise in that movie it was quite a brutal fight. Also, I was wondering if you could do a video on fighting and tactics early on in 1914 before trenches were thought up, such as the battle of the frontiers and such, there isn't much for information on that period of the war.
Complete balls up by the English. Basically no respect for the Turks diplomatically or as combatants.. Bullied by Churchill into joining the triple alliance. Naval catastrophe in the narrows. 400 acre slaughterhouse for 8 months.. We Australians like to mythologise our suffering and sacrificial failure there. The French didn't even put a field ambulance on the place for weeks after their men saw action.. Today is Anzac day here in Australia.. A day when people, including myself, get emotional & are tempted to jingoism.. Politicians get that look on their faces and say those whimsical things they think they mean, that they think people want to hear...that make me want to vomit & shriek all at once.. They had to have a fucking truce to clear the place enough to keep fighting because disease was wiping battalions into companies. The remarkable bravery the enormous atrocity, the sheer nonsense of the English class system and it's endless disharmony of authority.. No nationalistic jingoism in my house on Anzac day, just facts and chronic grief for all those poor betrayed youth and their families. Lest we forget the facts. That would be letting them all down.
And Hamilton was exposed as an incompetent fool. The very epitome of the upper class British twit of a general. I agree with Montgomery’s later excoriation of the WW1 Allied leadership. Lions led by donkeys.
Can you type that in German pal? The language you would be speaking if it wasn't for Churchill. Show some honesty and stop kidding yourself it was the English.

This is an interesting and informative video. I particularly like the overhead shots showing the topographical features. I've been to the area three times including trips to Cape Helles and Suvla Bay. I did the trips in the 1990s going before and after the tragic bush fire.
My great great great grandfather was there maybe he was a ANZAC that place is a piece of history for Australia and New Zealand as a fellow Australian like myself in respectful to all ANZACS who died and survived
The ANZACs were victims of Britain's insatiable ambitions. We Turks only defended our lands, Now they are resting in peace in our country as our boys
Outstanding. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
You never be forgotten Aussies and kiwis soldiers
🎶Gallipoli
Left their letters in the sand
Such waste of life, Gallipoli🎶
Really well done. Great visuals. Loved the transitions. Thank you!!
Thank you!
As an American that hobby-studies English and European history, I can't imagine a more despised man in the ANZAC community that Sir Winston Churchill. Personally, I admire many things about him, but, I doubt there was ever a kind word said about him, after Gallipoli.
I really like your presentations
Thankyou
It’s brilliant idea that the audience of Turkish commanders voiced by Turkish person, but he is not able to speak fluently, I am here to serve our common history as a voicer for next time :) Amazing job! Appreciated!
The idea made sense on paper, but war is war.
I made sense by did not work how they what’d it.
It didn't really. British Intelligence had already done an extensive study in 1906 (google British Naval Intelligence Study 1906 and you can read the report for yourself) that predicted, with scary accuracy, what would happen if they tried to force the straits by Sea or Land in the event of war with the Ottomans. This information was well known yet the War Council ignored it ... and nearly everything the study predicted in 1906 happened in 1915.
There is a hope for no more wars. Just Peace.
Great documentary. Just as an aside. I was Alec Campbell s personal assistant up to and on Anzac Day. The last Anzac.
Another great tribute documentary 🙏
Very well presented 🇦🇺
Thank you
Interesting. Never knew they got off the beach in the attack. Gallipoli is a good movie but Mel joins the battle later on so the beach is all we see.
Once again Battle Guide has shown that no one does this better. 😍
Great video. Great visuals
Much appreciated!
Amazing film making
It was an amazing video! Helped me out to better understand the assault ♥ By chance, do you have the music used for this video?
Lovely video! Hopefully you will covering the Italian campaign in the mountain ranges as well?
This video was the first time I truly began to understand what happened on the first day.
Glad you got value out of it Sean
Did the Allied command have any idea what that terrain looked like once off the beach? That never had any chance of success.
Amazing work! thank you
Thank you too!
Pointless campaign that saw many Australians and New Zealanders die needlessly.
That is so sad why they do that today in school we learn at school anzac day and we stand still then we give respect to the people who died I hope you rest and peace
My maternal grandfather took part in the later landing at Suvla Bay as a private in the Somerset Light Infantry. He was wounded, losing an eye. Evacuated back to England via a stay in Malta. It's strange to think I'm just two generations from this battle.
I continue to wonder why there wasn’t a concentration landing a bit further north onto the plains where an army could more easily concentrate and utilize artillery. Then having units going into the ridge country to help secure flanks and threaten the enemy from the heights would be a very difficult situation. Is there detail as to why a strategy similar to that wasn’t undertaken?
Lest we Forget.
I have a great granddad and he was a soldier and his names was Clive (I think that’s how his name was spelled) but if only I knew what he achieved during the war or rather what battle he was in I would be happy knowing who he was with the mates rest in peace Clive
i cannot be more proud from being turk because of words of ataturks about anzacs.
Lets hope nobody dies because of war
Incredible.
It would be great if you did a video on the Cape Helles landings too.
I cant find Alfred Perry you mention from the 10th Battalion. But I can find Albert Perry 525 who was 32 when he enlisted from broken hill. Where can I read his journal thats referenced in this documentary? Thanks
I really wonder at what Maclagan was thinking - Hamilton’s orders stressed the importance of the Sari Bair ridge, yet this was ignored. Further Maclagan ordered digging in on the SEAWARD edge of Second Ridge, these actions dooming the bridgehead as a stalemate. Keep in mind in the first 24 hours nearly 24000 Anzacs had been landed opposed by a mere 4000 Ottomans.
Wonderful historical coverage video about Gelupuli war 1916 was that the British Empire campaign failed to occupy the Gelepoli peninsula ...stubborn, fanatic resistance of Ottoman empire troops rescued military attitude for Ottoman empire favor. I think the campaign ( amphibians mission) failed from the first moment for two reasons 1- firepowers of ANZAC troops was not decisive due to lack of machine guns and artillery covered. 2- Generally amphibians campaigning is not practiced upon previous naval failure results. surprises Eliminate was lost
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's awesome to see viewers diving deep into the historical content.
Lest we forget 🌺
Ben Türk'üm. Benim Dedem Çanakkale Savaşına katıldı ve sağ döndü. Evet unutmayacağız ve unutturmayacağız. Biz işgal için gelen herkes ile savaşmaya her zaman hazırız, en zayıf zamanımız da bile.
Australasian troops NOT ONLY. Australians BUT. New Zealanders as well, hence the term ANZAC. My Great Grandfather lost a son at Gallipoli.
Correct, but not in the initial landings, that was only Australians, the New Zealanders came ashore later
Yep, that’s what the film has said. Two divisions involved in this landing, the 1st Australian that came ashore first, followed up by the NZ&A Division later that morning. Many of the New Zealanders didn’t complete their landing until the afternoon of that first day.
Very good video, very informative with the mappings, one movie I had watched called The Water Diviner with Russell crowe, about him trying to find his three sons after they went off to Gallipoli, the battle scenes took me by surprise in that movie it was quite a brutal fight. Also, I was wondering if you could do a video on fighting and tactics early on in 1914 before trenches were thought up, such as the battle of the frontiers and such, there isn't much for information on that period of the war.

Captain Lalor, wasn't he the son of Peter Lalor the leader of the Eureka stockade? He had Peter's sword with him which was used at the stockade.
He was Peter Lalor's Grandson
@@OldFellaDave thanks I remember reading it in a book called Digger.
So this war caused to form 3 independent countries!?
New Zealand, Australia and Turkey!
Great respect for the brave ANZACS
Complete balls up by the English. Basically no respect for the Turks diplomatically or as combatants..
Bullied by Churchill into joining the triple alliance.
Naval catastrophe in the narrows.
400 acre slaughterhouse for 8 months..
We Australians like to mythologise our suffering and sacrificial failure there.
The French didn't even put a field ambulance on the place for weeks after their men saw action..
Today is Anzac day here in Australia.. A day when people, including myself, get emotional & are tempted to jingoism..
Politicians get that look on their faces and say those whimsical things they think they mean, that they think people want to hear...that make me want to vomit & shriek all at once..
They had to have a fucking truce to clear the place enough to keep fighting because disease was wiping battalions into companies.
The remarkable bravery the enormous atrocity, the sheer nonsense of the English class system and it's endless disharmony of authority..
No nationalistic jingoism in my house on Anzac day, just facts and chronic grief for all those poor betrayed youth and their families.
Lest we forget the facts. That would be letting them all down.
And Hamilton was exposed as an incompetent fool. The very epitome of the upper class British twit of a general. I agree with Montgomery’s later excoriation of the WW1 Allied leadership. Lions led by donkeys.
Can you type that in German pal? The language you would be speaking if it wasn't for Churchill. Show some honesty and stop kidding yourself it was the English.
Dissapointed you didn’t cover chunuk bair
This is the first of 6 videos on the subject
Thank you to the Turks for remembering our soldier. I know the respect the Aussies and the Turks had for each other.
