 Gallipoli is a peninsula locality in north-western Turkey, north bank of the Dardanel Strait. The Peninsula is the site of extensive First World War battlefields and memorials on the north bank of the Dardanelles Strait. After failure of naval attract in 18th march 1915 Allied (British Empire, France) was planned the Gallipoli Campaign which become so costly for both side Allied Turkish. From 25th april to 5th December 1915 casualties and losses amount to 220,000 with a 59% casualty rate for the Allied forces, and 253,000 with a 60% casualty rate for the Turkish forces.

Anzac Cove is particularly significant for Australians and New Zealanders, whose armies received their baptism in fire on the cliffs there, and carved a fine military reputation under extreme adversity and enourmous loss of life; and this military disaster marked the beginning of a separate Australian and New Zealand nationhood. The 1915 landings and battles are commemorated by Australians and New Zealanders on ANZAC Day, 25 April, every year. At this time especially, Gallipoli becomes a place of pilgrimage for many Aussies and Kiwis who want to honour the memory of their forbears.
