Gallipoli has been a place I have wanted to visit for many years. Grandfather Eric Wooster served here, Ambulance, then latter France Belgium.
A guided tour by far the best way to see the place and our guide fantastic. A wonderful in depth knowledge and balanced tour.
We began by crossing over the Dardanelles to the peninsular
a breezy day
Known by the ANZAC'S as Brighton Beach, this was where they were supposed to land.
British ended up putting Australians and New Zealanders ashore at what is now known as ANZAC Cove, very steep terrain, cliffs.

Landing 25April 1915 ,after hundreds of thousands wounded and killed on both sides a tactical retreat completed Dec 1915 , total waste of human life.

An amazing place - we found it to be one of the most emotional places we have ever visited.
