Ambush at Gallipolli The Anzacs arrived too far inland from the proper place to attack and were immediately ambushed by the Turks.
Life at War • The life at war was harsh, full of disease and mud and horrible food.
Evacuation • The war became too much for the Anzacs, so they secretly evacuated, without the Turks knowing. When they left they set timers so the guns would fire.
