Gallipoli, Turkey


It’s the “place” that the Mel Gibson movie is based on. That is, the place where the British, Australian and New Zealand forces made a futile attempt to take Istanbul during WW I. They were fought off by the Turkish forces. The commander of the Turkish forces at the time was Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. He later became President and known as the father of modern Turkey.
