The Gallipoli Peninsula is in a beautiful part of the world, beside the sparkling waters of the Aegean Sea, as you can see in the film from the BBC, viewed from a drone. Additrional video footage is provided by the Gallipoli Association. 

It’s hard to imagine that a century ago it was a scene of violence, pain and horror, with thousands of men dug into the cliffsides, smoke and shrapnel filling the air and the dark shapes of warships stretching along the horizon.  Today the Gallipoli battlefield is well preserved and due to its isolation and lack of good land for farming has remained largely undeveloped.  A century on, the evidence of the battlefield is still strong: there are wrecked boats on the beaches, cannons dotted around the clifftops, trenches and bunkers on the high ground and the remains of equipment such as rum jars fragments, barbed wire pieces and cartridge cases hiding in the undergrowth, as you can see in the videos below.
