The First D-Day - The Helles Landing Documentary
Watch the third installment of The Gallipoli Association's documentary produced in partnership with Battle Guide Virtual Tours. For the 110th anniversary of the Gallipoli Landings the film covers the landings at Cape Helles on 25 April 1915.
Just after dawn on 25th April 1915, under the cover of a formidable naval bombardment, thousands of British troops made their way towards land. In front of them, entrenched along these cliffs, Ottoman riflemen waited, poised to defend their homeland at all costs. It was the beginning of a brutal fight which would last for 8 months and cost tens of thousands of lives.
