Comprising a large ANZAC contingent on their first major operation, they were tasked with invading and eliminating the formidable Ottoman artillery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn 25 April 1915, they landed on five stretches of beach in open boats. The casualties from the first landing were horrific: of the first 200 men out of the boats, only twenty-one reached inland, the rest being mown down by Ottoman machine guns. Casualties only accelerated from there for both sides, until the Allies were forced to evacuate. \u003ci\u003eGallipoli 1915\u003c\/i\u003e takes you to the front line and beyond, ensuring that you will appreciate the ultimate sacrifice made by these brave soldiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Doyle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1803998148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781803998145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Peter Doyle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419569275135,"sku":"9781803998145","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8da93e5b-7c16-4e51-9c2d-6e5fad4e06e2.jpg?v=1761512421","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gallipoli-1915-peter-doyle-9781803998145","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
