The Gallipoli campaign

The Gallipoli campaign took place during the first World War. That was a terrible war! Life wasn't cool and happy. The soldiers had few things to eat. They had to eat canned food and the battle lasted a long time (8 months!).

This battle opposed the Turkish troops to the ANZAC troops.This battle took place principally in the trenches.The troops fought to shoot on the enemy's trenches.

This battle caused 250 000 casualties (this is lot of dead people!!!) and lasted from April 25th 1915 to January 9th 1916 (i don't know how they did! it's very hard to fight many many days).

We had a lesson in English and learnt the song "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" by Eric bogle in order to study the battle of Gallipoli.
I   was very sad when I heard it, I wanted to cry.  It's a very good song.
