New Video - Gallipoli: Anzac Landing

[michaeldr]

A joint effort by Battle Guide and The Gallipoli Association

 

 

It is hoped that this will be just the first in a series of new videos
explaining what happened to our forefathers and showing us the ground over which they fought.

Just finished watching this Michael, a fitting end to my ANZAC Day.  It is superb and the use of (I assume) drones to highlight some of the approaches, terrain and present the Turkish and Australian use of ground made the campaign very clear.

Well done to all who collaborated.

Cheers, Bill

Good job overall, with commendable use of GE and aerial footage. However, there are a couple of inaccuracies regarding the Turkish side that need correction.

5:30, the 19th Division, being the army reserve, had nothing to do with the coastal defence during the initial hours of the landing. All units at landing places were part of the 9th Division under Colonel Halil Sami, who unfortunately did not get a mention in this part of the documentary.

8:58, Faik was a captain, not a lieutenant. Moreover, the officer in the picture is not Faik but Captain Cevdet, Şefik's aide!

Thanks Emre. The 19th Division section could be a little clearer. It was implying that the 19th Div and the 27th Regiment were in the area, but then goes on to say that a single battalion of the 9th Div was defending this section of coastline, which is correct. Unfortunately short docu's like this cannot mention every individual, but maybe in the next one :-)
