Australia has always spent time to remember the men who went and fought on the beaches of Gallipoli, despite what people say about that the Gallipoli campaign being a huge failure. In recent years there has been a huge increase in people displaying respect for those who died in the Gallipoli battle. The men who joined the Australian army were mostly young men and were known as typical Australian men.
             The battle of Gallipoli was fought as a campaign in the First World War. It was fought on a very small piece of land on and above the beaches of Gallipoli. The plan was to draw Turkish troops from other battlegrounds, therefore minimising the amount of troops on the other battlefronts. This would make it easier for the English soldiers to come up through the Dardanelle's and make their way through turkey without much of a challenge.
             The role of the Anzacs in the Gallipoli campaign was to land on a beach on the west coast, north of Gabe Tepe, and to proceed across the peninsula where the ground was less elevated and the Dardanelle's narrows was only four and a half miles over the peninsula. They were to then hold this position. This venture, in hindsight seems to never have been likely to succeed. Even though there were enough men, including thirteen Infantry Divisions from countries such as France, India, Britain, and of course Australia and New Zealand there was not much chance of success. During the war there were too many mistakes made which costed the lives of thousands of men. One of the earliest mistakes was made in the landing of Anzac troops about one mile up coast from the planned landing site to a place now known as Anzac Cove. This beach was only a few metres away from steep hills that could pretty much be called cliff faces, which rose straight from the sand. This along with the strength of firepower from the Turks at Anzac cove resulted in a huge loss of life that could have probably been prevented if the landin
