Today there is a memorial at the place, erected by the turks and with the words of Mustafa Kemal, the turkish general. It reads: "Those 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."

Fun fact: As this was supposed to be a diversionary attack, Major General Alexander Godley ordered that the troops charge with unloaded rifles. The intent was that the charges were to be carried out with bayonnets and hand grenades only, to prevent the troops from stopping to fire and thus increase the chances of them reaching the Ottoman positions. While preliminary naval and artillery bombardment of the trenches held by the Ottomans took place, they ceased a few minutes early due to non-synchronization of timepieces. The Australians began their assault at the scheduled time, however, which allowed the Ottomans to re-occupy their positions and defend them. The results, obviously, were not satisfactory, with the 600 Australian light horsemen suffering 372 casualties for zero gain.

I did my thesis on this. So many myths, but with deeper research you get a clearer picture. Ottoman records do indeed indicate that a section of trench was taken and held for some time by a handful of these light-horsemen. The Ottomans did try to get them to surrender but they refused and were eventually overwhelmed. None of the supporting waves were able to reach them in support. During 9 months of field research in the 1980s I was lucky to find the remains of a pith helmet only a couple of meters from the first Ottoman trench. There is too much romanticizing of the Gallipoli campaign. It was a dirty, filthy war. Only remembered with pleasure by those who experienced a worse nightmare on the Western front.

Parki was marching alone. So, I asked our cub leader, why Mr Withers was alone. She said, it was because he was not a WWI or WWII veteran. He was a veteran of the Boer War! Parki was 92 then. He marched as briskly as the Korean War vets and lived alone, without assistance. Years later, in Australia, we heard that Parki had huge celebration for his 100th birthday. There was plenty of wine, women, and song. Parki was found dead the next morning, with a smile on his face. I went back to the town in 2015. About a half dozen times, different people told me that Parki was smiling, when he died. True.

Makes one circumspect when you remember that the best of Western Victoria went over the top at the Nek with the 8th Light Horse Regiment. The 8th featured a literal roll call of some of the most prominent 'squatocracy' family names, Austin, Mack, Urquhart and numerous settler families and scions of Melbourne society. Makes you wonder what would've been if they survived? And of the survivors? No wonder Paul McGinness, co-founder of Qantas Airlines, became aimless and displayed all the symptoms of PTSD after the war, dying in obscurity aged 55. He was knocked out it the first wave, surviving the day on no man's land and making it back into the trenches at night. The impact on the 8th was so great that those who survived or were 'off the line' for the charge often were promoted due to the need to reinforce the Regiment with replacement officers and NCOs An example of this was my own great grandfather, who hadn't even landed on Gallipoli when the charge occurred. He was an acting Sergeant in one of the 8th LHR reinforcement cycles and landed on the peninsula on the 16th August (9 days after the charge) as a Corporal, quickly rising to Squadron Sergeant Major in the Sinai campaign.

A pointless war fought between Europeans that the Ottoman Empire had no business in entering. The empire was in serious decline and worse still stood nothing to gain from it even if the Central Powers had won. The only silver lining is that the empire finally collapsed once and for all because of it and Ataturk, one of the greatest statesmen of all time, was able to take the reigns and modernise Turkey. Sad that his legacy is being trampled on in modern Turkey, and sick that he is worshipped by the people who'd make him turn in his grave.

The thing is, this mini series highlighted a real issue with war back then and even now. The commanding officers know what's happening, they feel it all yet they are helpless. If they disobey the orders of their superiors they are court marshaled and almost always found guilty. People like Ian Hamilton (who was not and is no Sir) are the real enemy. Political pawns who don't care how many men die. Hamilton was exactly that. He didn't care about anyone but himself. That's why those below him ended up moving to have him ousted. I might be biased as an Australian, but I don't see how that man was honorable. Those below him who took a stand had more honor in the end than he ever did. I remember when we did the centenary at school, all of us who were 16 or older were separated from the younger grades in an attempt to show how many people you went to school with would have enlisted. When they showed during the assembly how many there were in terms of how big your school is it put things into perspective. Myself and all my friends were 16 in 2015 and when you consider that this was the youngest age where you could legally enter war back then it made you think of the absolute hell people that age would have went through and demonstrates how lucky we are today to have witnessed no major wars in some years and have tighter laws that protect the common people.

There are a great many things wrong with this post. But, just picking on one in particular, you seem to be suggesting that Sir Ian Hamilton 'didn't care about anyone but himself'. I'm sure you know this from your extensive research, but in the summer of 1918 the highly decorated Australian officer Albert Jacka VC wrote to Hamilton a letter in which he concluded, 'As a member of the Australian Imperial Force, I feel that I need scarcely say how I look forward with very great pleasure to renewing my acquaintanceship with the first General the Force ever served under [i.e. Hamilton], and also one who was held in such high esteem by all ranks. Yours sincerely, Bert Jacka.' You may not think he was 'honourable' but the Australian troops who served under him certainly did. I prefer their judgement of the man over yours.

@@henrypulleine8750 Our troops had been taught to respect him. Just because they thought he was honourable, doesn't mean he was. Culture back then was very different to today. We don't have a nation which we regard as our motherland. All those brave soldiers did and they believed they were dying for king and country. Some diaries say that. You also forget that our troops were lied to time and time again by Hamilton. If Hamilton made it more a mission to create a better strategy in Gallipoli as opposed to trying to stop Bean and Murdoch revealing the disaster of the campaign then maybe it would have been different. Had he done his job instead of worrying about a few journalists who were trying to defeat the propaganda instead of creating propaganda like todays 'journalists'. Ian Hamilton did many things wrong and in the end, the fact that many of his comrades didn't see him fit to lead anymore. There was no doubt that prior to Gallipoli he was effective, however Gallipoli showed he his age or something in him went wrong. He lost his way and effectiveness, thus losing integrity. This is stuff we learn only after war. Of course he was held in high esteem back then. It was a completely different time.
@johnootot Жыл бұрын
Some unfortunate points of view here. Please deepen your research into Hamilton. Gallipoli was my research masters thesis and I feel like I have a pretty good handle on his strengths and weaknesses. By the standard of generals at the time, Hamilton was a top tier commander. His weakness was not his intelligence or strategic ability. The only real criticism I can place at his feet was his inability to ride roughshod over some pretty ordinary subordinate and variously incompetent ‘junior’ generals. His organization and implementation of the worlds biggest amphibious assault was sheer unadulterated brilliance. That he got within a whisker of pulling it off was incredible. There are many things to be shocked by in this campaign, but Hamilton was not one of them.

This was the problem with the strict hierarchy rank system back in those days. The colonel knew they were achieving nothing and sending all those men to die. But instead of improvising he has to follow his own orders from those incompetent superiors who do not know the severity of the situation, sitting in there comfortable lounge chairs, sending hundreds of thousands of young lives for the sake of Politics. Hell, the Colonel could of saved all those lives from a few words and called off the attack.

@@Ukraineaissance2014 I posted that comment last year in tribute to the ANZACS on Australian ANZAC day. It wasn’t comment on whose side lost most men, it was simply remembering the heroism of the ANZACS. I’m sorry you felt the need to disparage their achievements and defame them and their bravery. I’m not saying most men weren’t brave, I’m simply saying that at Gallipoli the ANZACS, thousands of miles from home ran towards German ‘slayer’ machine guns to protect the Commonwealth. They answered the call and they acted like all outstanding warriors of old….with great courage and discipline. I on the other hand would have probably got myself shot by my commanding officer because I’d have stood up and before the ranks massed before me I’d have said “fuck this, I’m having none of it. We dont stand a chance and I’m not going to spill my blood and die here for a bunch of elite war profiteers, wire pullers, masters of war. I’m going to throw my gun in the sea and I’m going to head to the nearest peaceful place and have an ice cold beer and write to my girl and tell her I’m on my way home because this war is so obviously about geopolitical issues, there is no clear enemy or reason to fight them. See you soon my love, here’s to a happy future”. I’m sure my CO would then have murdered me but then I’d have become a true martyr, dying for peace and having seen the hands pulling our wires and exposing them. My death would have meant something other than just being used as gun fodder hurled at the German/Turkish guns in hope of clogging the guns up. But that didn’t work and tens of thousands of innocent men were murdered with no hope of escape at Gallipoli.

Sadly this is pretty firmly detached from what really happened at the Nek in 1915. In fact, it's basically entirely made up. ANZACs took 50% casualties in total - horrific losses for sure, but not 100% as depicted in this clip (casualties includes wounded). The Ottoman trenches were heavily bombarded by warships out at sea beforehand (though the ANZACs felt it was inadequate and that battleships could've been used). The attack took place at 4am, under cover of darkness, not in broad daylight as depicted here. The waves did not go one after the other and were not all immediately cut down. The attack was always going to be costly but it mainly failed because of poor coordination between artillery and the various units, who attacked out of time and wasted momentum waiting for reinforcements. It was not a foregone conclusion in of itself, though I'd argue the Gallipoli Campaign was. I think the main thing that doesn't sit well with me about this is all the crying. The real horror of war - the terrifying thing that doesn't happen anywhere else - isn't the dying and physical suffering but the dehumanisation of soldiers. Certainly the least convincing part is the crying Ottomans. The defenders were highly motivated and did not mourn the deaths of invaders (though they were recorded as being generally respectful of the dead and prisoners - I doubt they would've shot an obviously completely helpless soldier who fell into their trench).

The casualty rate was almost 2/3, not 50%, and the 2nd wave did go just 2 minutes after the 1st wave. Most experts now agree that after the 1st wave was cut down in 30 seconds, it should have been obvious to all that sending out subsequent waves was futile.

Many didn’t know that they dug their own graves when they dug those trenches. The war was so brutal that both sides had to be chivalrous in ceasefires to collect the dead and wounded from no man’s land. There were even instances of enemy soldiers helping each other during ceasefires when tending to the dead and wounded. The events of WW1 were so brutal that most nations made laws prohibiting certain weapons, behaviors and tactics.

I mean I'm certainly not going to defend the killings in the way you're desperately trying to use them to defend a genocide of the Armenians but there was no state intent to kill aborigines while the same is not true for the Ottomans. Also as a side note (not that it should matter but since you brought it up) Aborigines deaths where about 14,000, there are 812,000 today Armenian deaths where up to 1.5 Million and there are 10 Million ethnic Armenians today, so since this is the hill you seem so desperate to die on. Relative population killed - Armenians 15% compared to 1.7% of Aboriginals today (and of course over a much longer period for Australia) I'm not Australian or from New Zealand, but what you said doesn't in anyway change my original point, WW1 is what helped give these 2 countries a national identity and they where fighting entrenched Turks in pretty much the best defensive ground of the war and still managed to inflict roughly equal casualties on them which should be am embarrassment for the Turks who to be even slightly efficient had to be lead by the Germans

@@Copium6921 you’re absolutely right. Technology on the battlefield has evolved so quickly over the last century that it even overwhelms commanders today. Look at the $50 drones that make multi million dollar pieces of armor obsolete in Ukraine.

@@johndoran3274 I agree commanders did try things like digging under enemy trenches or heavy artillery barrages like at the Somme but often lack of heavy guns or trained crews would mean artillery barrages fail and men would end up charging intact trenches just like the Somme and i think even this battle

@@Copium6921 before I shipped out for Saudi Arabia back in 1990 for Desert Storm, I went to the American Legion with my father and grandfather for a drink. My grandfather was a tanker in WW11 and my father did 2 tours of duty in Vietnam. I sat next to a WW 1 vet and talked with him for hours. He was part of the Marine Expeditionary Force and fought in Belleau Wood. That conversation is burned into my brain as I could see the pain in him describing the horrible things he witnessed.

@@johndoran3274 One of my family members was a tanker in WW2 he fought at El Alamaine he was later captured by the Italians and suffered through horrendous conditions (the Italians hated the British because they were losing so badly) an old Italian lady gave the prisoners some bread so the Italians hung her outside the camp he said he was glad when they were given to the Germans he died a year after the war from something he caught in the prisoner of war camps another one of my family died a few weeks after Normandy he was shot by a German Sniper and drowned in his own blood war is very sad but young men will always want to fight

Yeah, it was directed at the officers who sent those men out. The Turks also suffered many needless losses in massed attacks into machine guns and artillery. That war was nothing but murder.

Not taking anything from the Anzacs, but the Gallipoli campaign cost many more British casualties, more Indian and Gurkha casualties and I believe more French casualties than the losses suffered by Australian or New Zealand troops. It should be remembered by Australia and New Zealand but many Australian people believe that the upper class English high command sacrificed the Anzacs and kept the British troops safe, and the reality is that many of the Anzacs were actually born in the British Isles and probably considered themselves to be British soldiers. Like I said, I'm not denigrating the sacrifices made by Australia and New Zealand but it seems that the Australian public is convinced that it was the evil British aristocracy sending Aussie volunteers to their deaths, when the allied forces consisted of a relatively small fraction of Anzacs and the total number of English casualties was much higher than the number of Anzac casualties.

The vast majority of the ANZAC Forces were English or British born, with the rest being 2nd or 3rd generation British immigrants. The vast majority of losses at Gallipoli were by the British Army. The so called British aristocracy had a higher % of being killed then the average infantry men, especially as their sons were the junior officers leading the waves forward.
