Scorched Earth - Gallipoli 1915


Scorched Earth - Gallipoli 1915

In a war infamous for its military disasters, there are few greater debacles than Gallipoli. Ill-conceived, poorly-planned and dogged by misfortune, the offensive which was supposed to knock Turkey out of the Great War soon subsided into a bloody stalemate. The resulting loss of life at notorious places such as Anzac Cove and Suvla Bay are written large in military folklore. Gallipoli 1915 The Bloody Peninsula features fascinating rarely seen battle footage and haunting photographic images. With dramatised eye-witness accounts, footage of the beaches and coves of Gallipoli today, and expert comment and analysis, this programme tells the story of one of the crucial offensives of World War One. Narrated by Mike Leighton.

Midst Shot and Shell we made the narrow beach, landing at Gallipoli. 15th Battalion, Australian Imperial Force.

Australian Imperial Force at Gallipoli by Cyrus Cuneo		 After nearly three complete days of fighting in the Lone Pine trenches, during the longest and fiercest hand-to-hand struggle which had yet occurred in the Peninsula, the Turks still held a big communication trench winding almost directly to the point which was at first chosen for the headquarters. While Brigadier Smythe was standing outside the office the Turks had come up the trench, marching calmly three abreast, round the last elbow into the full view of some who were standing with the headquarters party. Only a low barricade, breast high, separated them, Lieutenant Howell Price, subsequently commanding the 3rd Battalion, shot two with his revolver.
An Early Incident Before The Occasion On Which Captain Shout Won The V.C.		 Towards dawn on the morning of August 9th 1915, Private Henry Devenish Skinner, of the 14th South Otago Regiment, N.Z.R., saw from his trench at Chunuk Bair, Gallipoli Peninsula, a light burning a short way in front. Thinking that it might possibly attract the enemys fire, he passed word along the trench that he was going out to extinguish it, and taking with him a friend named Levett, he crawled out of the trench. As they came near the light the two men saw to their astonishment that it came from a dead man whose body was burning, and from which there rose a small flame.
Private Skinner And A Comrade Crawling From Their Trench At Chunk Bair To Extinguish A Strange Light.		 Australian VC winner-Private Albert Jacka, 14th battalion. He killed nine Turks who had bombed and infiltrated an Australian trench at Courtneys post during the great Turkish assault on 19th May.
