That's impressive.

Yeah, it's really hard.

So we'll see, particularly in our next episode, in Thursday's episode.

I think the conditions at Gallipoli are just unbelievably hellish.

And they're definitely worse than the Western Front.

And a lot of people who served on both said, you know, the Western Front wasn't brilliant, but the one thing it had in its favour was it wasn't Gallipoli, which was so much worse.

Yeah, it sounds awful.

So anyway, this bloke who fell asleep, he was hit three times in the legs, but he still managed to get out to the beach, which is very impressive.

Have a barbie.

Anyway, night falls, the Anzacs do have a foothold.

They've got this little pocket with a kind of perimeter, which is about two miles long.

But in total, they've basically got only half a mile inland.

They are nowhere near where they were meant to be.

And they've already lost 2,000 men out of their 16,000 killed, wounded, or missing.

So that's the Anzacs.

Now, meanwhile, the British have been landing further south at Cape Helles.

And this is actually the bigger landing.

This is 21,000 men of the 29th Division.

And they're given a tremendous send-off by their commanding officer, Major General Aylmer Hunter Weston.

Hunter Bunter.
