Lost Gallipoli Trenches Revealed!

[@hypercomms2001]

I remember visiting Gallipoli in 1987, and although I was not looking for it, it was not hard to see human bones even then, around the Nek.... It brought me to tears...

I first started reading military history when I was a kid in the 70's. Out of everything I've read or watched there are a few that stand out and make me thank god that I never had to go through the experience of war. Gallipoli is definitely one of them.

[@MatMcLachlanHistory]

I couldn’t agree more. Gallipoli was horrific from start to finish.

@@MatMcLachlanHistory Hey there. Have you seen the doc. Gallipoli from above: the untold story? I just watched it here on YT. I thought it was pretty good. It gave me a different perspective.

Us kiwies dug in hard to the ground we fought like men. When we ran out of amo both sides we fought with fists and stones and knives ..Although many were lost in Gallipoli, the MG09 was the machine gun used against the New Zealanders and many aliied at Gallipoli. The kiwies had tough fight , You could hear the kiwies doing a huka shacking the ground Turks thought they were canables

I saw an excellent NZ documentary about Gallipoli about thirty years ago

RIP to the ANZACS who died at Gallipoli and the many other French and British soldiers who served.

Bloody Amazing Guys, this is Great!!

[@ronti2492]

Why did they clear the scrub-? battlefield archaeology-or more likely for a fire break?

[@MatMcLachlanHistory]

It’s deliberate work to expose the trenches for visitors.

[@ronti2492]

@@MatMcLachlanHistory Thanks for yout reply-interesting, clearing the area sounds like a preamble to possibly a commercial development ?

[@MatMcLachlanHistory]

No it’s a protected national park. The clearance is simply to make the trenches more accessible for visitors.

[@cronulla70]

@@MatMcLachlanHistory hi, have they excavated them further? Have they perhaps done any archeology? Taken them to their original depth?

[@MatMcLachlanHistory]

No, it’s part of a program to simply expose trench systems in key locations by clearing the scrub.
