The Gallipoli war
2
New Zealand troops made their first major effort of the First World War during the Allied invasion of the Gallipoli Peninsula in April 1915. The Allies hoped to seize control of the strategic Dardanelles Strait and open the way for their naval forces to attack Constantinople (Istanbul), the capital of Turkey and the Ottoman Empire.

November. While they had received some fresh drinking water from Egypt, every unit was below strength and the men’s health remained poor. The cold winter did not help their weak bodies either. Frostbite and hypothermia became rough as cold rain, icy wind and snow swamped the peninsula. A huge storm at the end of November flooded trenches and caused many deaths among the exposed troops.
Celebration
Every year on anzac day, New Zealanders and Australians mark the anniversary of Gallipoli landings of 25th of April 1915.On that forever day, hundreds of thousands of young men far away from their homes, swamped the beaches on the Gallipoli Peninsula which is now Turkey.
They shall not grow old
They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them
Life for the New Zealand soldier at Gallipoli was rough. Packed inside the tiny Anzac perimeter, they were surrounded in extreme weather.
Living conditions
The area occupied by the New Zealanders and Australians at Anzac was small – less than six square kilometres. At its furthest point, the distance between the front and the beach was just over 900 metres. Conditions were harsh. The area possessed no natural water source, so there were constant shortages. Water, food, ammunition, and other supplies arrived at Anzac on ships and were landed on the beach with great difficulty.
For eight long months, New Zealand troops, alongside those from Australia, Great Britain and Ireland, France, India, and Newfoundland battled harsh conditions and Ottoman forces desperately fighting to protect their homeland

Pictiures
In the wider story of the First World War, the Gallipoli campaign made no large mark. The number of dead, although horrific, pales in comparison with the death toll in France and Belgium during the war. However, for New Zealand, along with Australia and Turkey, the Gallipoli campaign is often claimed to have played an important part in fostering a sense of national identity.
