On April 25, 1915, thousands of Australians and New Zealanders landed at an unnamed cove on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

They had come to fight the Turks. They thought the battle would be over in three days.

Months later they were still in the trenches they'd dug at the landing. Anzac Cove became a graveyard where bodies lay above the ground and the living slept under it.

Most of the Anzac soldiers had gone looking for the adventure of a lifetime.

This work is part of Black Dog Books' award-winning history series The Drum that uses first-person accounts and non-fiction to bring history roaring to life.
