The battlefields of the peninsula of Gallipoli, after almost a century, are a reminder to visitors of all nationalities of the brutality and inhumanity of war. For many Australians and New Zealanders, visiting Gallipoli is the emotional highlight of their Turkish tour. Here, many of their countrymen were killed while serving as ANZACs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) during WWI. The courage displayed by both the ANZACs and Turkish soldiers in the harsh terrain is legendary.
