Gallipoli

I think almost every Australian who comes to Turkey would be thinking about going to Gallipoli to remember and pay tribute to the soldiers who died there in 1915. There are 25 cemeteries alone for the Australian war dead, and when you walk among the headstones on the graves, you can't help but notice how young the boys were, who went to the other side of the world to fight an enemy they knew nothing about. Those killed and injured among the allied troops were in excess of 100,000. A sobering reminder when you come here is that there were also between 250,000 and 300,000 Turkish soldiers killed defending their homes, their country.
