The First To Fall

[Rum Ration]

Between 04:20 and 04:35 AM the first wave of Australian soldiers landed at Gallipoli. The first wave consisted of the 9th Battalion, 10th Battalion and the 11th Battalion of the 3rd Brigade.

A wonderful website has been put together listing all the Australian soldiers killed on the first day at Gallipoli:

25 April 2015 marks the 100th Anniversary of the Gallipoli landing and the day these soldiers gave their all.

LEST WE FORGET

Hi Rum Ration,

I'm having some problems understanding that webpage.

"Much can be learnt about the Anzacs from the detailed individual records kept in national archival collections such as those of the Australian War Memorial and the National Archives Australia. Using these, Professor Peter Dennis of ADFA (Australian Defence Force Academy) has put together a database – First to Fall – containing the names of all the Anzacs killed on the first day at Gallipoli. The information in the database sheds some light on the personal stories of the Australians commemorated at Gallipoli and on local war memorials all over Australia".

The webpage has a listing of all the 11th Battalion men, however the text indicates that Peter Dennis has a database of all Anzacs who fell on the first day. This will be accessible form 25th April onwards as I understand it within the text?
