Gallipoli
On April 25th at dawn, the Anzacs landed in Gallipoli (In Turkey) and realised they landed at the wrong place.
The Anzacs had no choice but to climb a large mountain to fight against the Turks so they could move through Turkey to give the Russians equipment to survive the cold weather.
Sadly lot's of soldiers died while fighting the Turks for eight months so, they evacuated them.
