as an Australian I really appreciate you covering the heroics of the Anzac soldiers as I feel like globally their heroism is often left out of popular media. I also want to mention that the heroics and bravery of the Turkish soliders should be commended because at the end of the day most of the soliders in war are young men fight a battle constructed by old men through politics

​@@alisamiebeoglu6958 Gelibolu is a difficult subject for me. As a Turk who grew up in Australia I would hear about the Australian side in my regular school then on Saturdays in Turkish school I would hear all about the Turkish side of the story. Last time I was visiting my yenge in Bandırma I told her I wanted to visit Gelibolu so we went on a day trip there, we found a minibus driver taking locals on a tour of the Turkish side memorials, my yenge told the driver that I had come from Australia and wanted to see both the Anzac and Turkish side memorials, he said to ask the other local passenger if they wanted to as well which they all said they would like to see as well, I then using my knowledge I learnt in school proceeded to act as a tour guide explaining the Anzac side to the locals and we all had a great day out. One thing I will never forget however as I was walking through one of the Turkish trenches I tripped over what I initially thought was a tree root, upon further inspection I found out it wasn't a tree root but a bone, I stopped immediately prayed an El Fatiha and got out of the trench, that feeling still haunts me till this day. I can't remember where the exact trench was but I did tell the minibus driver, hopefully he reported it to the local authorities

You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country." -Marshal Ataturk "You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well." -Ataturk "There is no enemy, there is no victory. Only boys who lost their lives in the sand." -Sabaton What a beautiful quote. I have a tremendous amount of respect for leaders who respect their enemies and see them as humans.

I had a great grandfather in ANZAC. He went to Gallipoli as a young 17 year old, then celebrated his 18th Birthday in the Trenches on the Peninsula. He was shot in the leg while going over the top and charging the Turkish lines. He played dead till the dark of night then slowly but surely crawled back to his own Trench. Ironically it wasn't the Turks that were shooting him, it was his own fellow ANZACs who mistakenly thought he was the enemy, but luckily was able to yell out that he was a Kiwi.

Hello from Turkey to Chris and all our Australian and New Zealander friends. ANZAC day is also celebrated in Anzac Cove, Turkey by Australian and New Zealander visitors every year. Gallipoli Campaign is called Çanakkale Campaign in Turkey, and it is also regarded as one of the most significant campaigns in the entire Turkish history because it was the turning point from a path of utter destruction. The word Çanakkale (a.k.a. Dardanelles, name of the province that encompasses Gallipoli) has become synonymous with bravery and sacrifice in Turkish culture. The naval warfare is as significant as the land battles. In Turkey the battle/victory is celebrated on March 18, the day battleships Bouvet, HMS Irresistible and HMS Inflexible were sunk. After Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the most famous symbols of the war were Corporal Seyit (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seyit_%C3%87abuk) and the mine ship Nusret (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_minelayer_Nusret), both of which served during the naval warfare.

I’ve been following your channel for a while now and, as an Australian, I just wanted to thank you for thinking of us on ANZAC day. This day really means a lot to us, New Zealand, and Turkey too. It’s nice to know others realise what an important day this is in our history. For a little context, Australia was officially made a nation in 1901, so by the time WWI started, we as a nation were a mere 13 years old. This battle, at Gallipoli, was really the first time our nation was seen around the world. So the men who fought this battle, who stood their ground and continued to fight even though it became pretty clear they couldn’t win, they defined our country, the way others saw us, and the way we wanted to see ourselves. And we have been trying to live up to their memory ever since. ANZAC Day is a reminder of that for us.

The Turkish officer pointed to a corpse and said "That's diplomacy" then pointed to another and said "That's politics".

@@DarthAxolotl Well, first of all, as you are making the assertion please provide empirical evidence (by which I mean contemporary, historical fact to support your contention). Secondly, it is quite ridiculous to suggest that there was such a considered difference between the disparate Allied forces (which consisted of British (i.e. English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish), Australian, French, New Zealand, and Newfoundland troops. Not to mention the Jews of the Zion Mule Corps. None of these men 'had to be there', all were volunteers. Furthermore, national distinctions are somewhat otiose. Apart from the French, obviously, the others all considered themselves members of the British Empire. A large proportion of the Anzacs (perhaps a third to a half) were British born, and the rest of very recent British extraction. Finally, in nearly every account I have read from a Turkish perspective they referred to the Allied troops as 'English' despite their national origin.

As a Proud and Patriotic Maori from NZ, I am seriously so happy that you dedicated a video to such a monumental day for us Maori, Kiwi and Aussies I myself learnt that my grandfather on my mum's side had an ancestor namee Henare Mokena Kohere, who signed up for the Maori Battalion who trained in Egypt in preparation for Gallipoli. From what I've learnt, he fought throughouth entirety of the Gallipoli campaign and survived. Shortly thought after the Turkish front close in Gallipoli he was sent straight into France where he would pass after an artillery shell blew off his arm at the Battle of the Somme 1915. I have so much more people who i know served and died at Gallipoli but i only know alot about Henare unfortunately

My Grandfather was there on the beaches of Gallipoli on the 25th of April and, apart from one short hospitalisation for shell shock, remained until the evacuation. His shell shock (what we know today as PTSD) was likely a result of witnessing his brother being killed by a shell at Lone Pine. You are correct that Mustapha Kemal became President Ataturk. I always love during the ANZAC Day service when they read Ataturk's letter to the mothers of the fallen ANZACs: "Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore, rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours... You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well."

I am super happy to see this video here, thank you so much!! As a person who lived in Çanakkale for 5 years I find it underrated that the Turks (especially Mustafa Kemal) successfully anticipated the time of the campaign and didn't lay the mines until after the expedition of the British scouts and laid them just 1 day before the campaign starts. If I remember correctly, the scout was found guilty of warcrime for giving wrong information since he reported that the sea was clear (which it was when he scouted) and later cleared of charges years after his execution. I need to look more for the details but this is how I remember now. Lots of love from Turkey!!

Despite not having any direct family present at the landings, or during the campaign, it was an emotional experience. Being able to stand on the very beach at ANZAC Cove where they landed, imagining the horrors of the sea turning red with the blood of the men who were killed.

The 'legend' of the ANZACs deserves more recognition and videos like these are always appreciated so, thank you. I would also recommend some reading on Villers-Bretonneux as well and if you don't know him already, Sir John Monash who Montgomery regarded as 'the finest general of the western front' after the war.

It did help form part of Australia Army identity, in courage, mateship and our attitude. We also have same feelings towards the charge of the Light Horse at Beersheba and they accomplished. But also what Ottoman at the time soldiers did and their courage. And more so in transition to Turkey the honour of naming it Anzac Cove and what was said by Ataturk about soldiers buried there to Australia. It was beginning of what has created and continues to this day in each Australian Solider.

Chris, I love your treatment of historical material and thank you for this video. As a Canadian we didn't hear much about the Eastern front, Italian front, Gallipoli, and battles in the Middle East. It's great that you are doing this for ANZAC Day since these veterans really deserve more coverage! I've learned so much about history since I started watching your videos and reactions. I particularly want to thank you for your video about the Newfoundlanders in WWI. I'm not from Newfoundland, but like the troops who fought in Gallipoli I don't think the Newfoundlanders get nearly enough recognition. If I could make a request, could you do a video or a reaction to the Canadians taking of Vimy Ridge in WWI? I'd love to see your viewpoint. Not related to any military history but I think that a video or a series on the treatment of the Indigenous Peoples in Canada is an important albeit chilling topic that deserves more attention than it receives. If you aren't familiar, we're finding thousands of bodies buried at the residential school sites the Indigenous children had to attend. Often they were forcibly taken from their homes by government agents or the Northwest Mounted Police and delivered to the residential schools. Many children died there. Most disturbingly some of these schools operated from 1870 up till the 1990's. It's a sad and painful story but I think it needs telling. I'm also curious to find out if Native American children were taken to church administered schools in the USA? You seem to have a knack for taking on subjects in history that don't get their due. Once again, thanks for what you do! Well done sir.

A distant family member of mine fought at Gallipoli and survived. He wrote a diary of his entire journey to Gallipoli. Upon his death in 1916 in Fromelles, his diary was sent back home but parts were redacted. It took nearly 80 years for his diary to be found after it was lost a few years later and was apparently stored in a hidden compartment of a chest. The diary itself is at the Australian War Memorial and our family has a photocopy version of the diary.

Cheers for the video mate and youre right its 11am on the 26th here but we appreciate it all the same. The school i went to had about 40 names on the memorial wall all KIA at Gallipoli ... 40 doesnt sound like much ..but it was every single father, son, uncle in the area. Currently theres alot of unhappy people here about our RSL & RSA (veterans bars) over their choice to fly the Ukrainian flag during the ceremony. Interesting turn of historical events given the broader context of the Gallipoli campaign.

I’m from NZ and only a couple channels I’ve seen haven spoken of Anzac Day and in a couple cases I’ve seen people completely leave out NZ and only speak of Australia. I appreciate you covering it when very little people do There’s also a good Netflix series called “Gallipoli” which show the whole campaign of Gallipoli following a group of mates and fighting in some of the most famous battles during the campaign

There is a memorial in Anzac Cove, a memorial commemorating the war with the words of Mustafa Kemal, the commander of the Ottoman Forces. It reads, "Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore, rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours... You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well."

As an Aussie I appreciate you covering this. I don't have a Gallipoli story and the only close relative I know that served (and wasn't dishonourably discharged 😂) was my maternal grandfather who served in the RAAF in New Guinea in WW2 as a air base guard. Corporal Gregory Allan Arnold was his name. He very very rarely talked about the war and if he did it was usually funny stories. The couple of things he did talk about that were bad were him volunteering to go up in a bomber as a machine gunner and laying in the grass at night with Japanese soldiers seemingly close by but unable to see them. On the Gallipoli thing, what is ANZAC Day to us is also commemorated in Turkey. This campaign is both one for mourning for the Turkish people and a day for pride.

My father is from Canakkale. His grand grand father died in this horable war. As the man died and the wife didnt know what this man had, she died without nothing. After more than 100 years and many search, we found out that we have thousand m2 areas there. We figured out that our grandfathers and grandmothers worked as workers in their own lands without knowing.

My grandfather was visiting cousins in Australia when the war broke out and he signed up with the aussies as he thought it was the quickest way to go home to England. Unfortunately he ended up at Gallipoli. He survived and then went on to the western front where he was shot in the chest in 1917. He was given 6 months to live. He waited 12 months then married my grandmother. He died in 1974. He was a tough old boy.

Hi, Chris, I knew a brief outline about this but didn't know the detail and I also learnt a lot. Thanks for that. The planning for this campaign appears to have been abysmal. Hope your trip goes well and a couple more suggestions, I hope you don't mind, The first is by Mark Felton and is called Luftwaffe Jets vs Remagen Bridge, it details German efforts to bomb the bridge and the Americann efforts to stop them. It was really interesting. The Second is back to WW1 and is by Biographics and is called Karl I The Last Emperor of Austria, it is really interesting and in some ways sad as well.

And when the British revive them lose all ground we had taken in two days. The other that cuts deep is Passchendaele. Iron maiden do a song from a British soldier. But that is our Omaha beach.

Great work on all your content Chris, and very clever too, you have absolutely hooked in all your down under fans for life! For your knowledge bank check out Kane’s comments below, K&Gs are way off on their position for ANZAC. If you go to 13:10 at the top of the screen where the peninsula juts out into the Aegean you can see the large bite which is Suvla Bay, go SE to the hills of the Sari Bair Range, follow the ridge SW to the sea you come across the ANZAC and Turkish entrenched frontline positions. Anzac Cove is the little indent beach at the bottom of the long hook shaped beach coming from the bottom of Suvla Bay. The Gallipoli Campaign is a fascinating read if you ever get the time, from an Allied perspective it feels like blunder after blunder after blunder, a whole lot of would have, could have, should have. Really the Allies should of crushed it! Until they ran into a Turkish brick wall that is, absolute dogged defence of their homeland and one helluva victory. Which could be an interesting content idea, against the odds historic victories.

some trivia, I studied at my high school in Istanbul which was also a high school during Ottoman times. From 1915 till the end of the Gallipoli campaign this school had no graduates because all able young men were drafted into the army. There were many other high schools in Istanbul that similarly had no graduates during this campaign

My grandfather served on the Kokoda trail in WW2 against the Japanese. You should check it out. He didn't talk about his time in the war, as many men didn't back then. And when my uncles, aunt and cousin did the track a few years ago. They were met with his photo at the end of the trail at a memorial. What a thing to see after a long hard trip.

Thanks for the video VTH. I'm not exactly sure how the US memorialises its war dead from the two World Wars aside from the major monuments such as Arlington National Cemetery, but here in New Zealand (and also in Australia), the impact the wars had is pretty clear as you go from village to village, town to town, city to city. Schools which were around during the time of the First World War often have memorial gates listing the ex-students of the school who made the ultimate sacrifice during the war. Indeed, in the 1960s, a proposed motorway route in Auckland was realigned as the original route would have necessitated the moving of the Auckland Grammar School memorial. Any settlement, even a village that may have had a few dozen people living in it will have its roll of honour in the village hall, and often have some sort of monument. On Anzac Day, even these villages - places which you might pass in the blink of an eye ordinarily - will have some sort of service. In more recent times, New Zealand city and district councils have placed poppies on the street signs of roads named after those who served during the wars, or roads named after significant locations during the wars. In some suburbs, this means virtually every street sign has one as the roads were named as such - for example, the suburb of Panmure in Auckland has a Tripoli Road, a Dunkirk Road, a Benghazi Road, an Alamein Road, a Tobruk Road and so on. This is not unexpected though. New Zealand lost 18,000 of its young men during the First World War, at a time when the country had just cracked the million mark. Australia lost 62,000 of its young men during the First World War, at a time when the country had just cracked the five million mark.
