Time to reflect:

Trace the events of World War I that led to Anzac troops landing at Gallipoli and find why the Allied commanders sent the troops to a beach fronted by rugged hills, ridges and steep gullies.

Get a view from the Turkish side or read the list of those buried in cemeteries at Gallipoli or listed on memorials. The Ministry of Culture's Anzac Day site has pictures and sounds, and Aucklander Peter Hoar's site has articles, essays and other research.

Listen to the war:
