White Gurkhas, The: The Australians at the Second Battle of Krithia Gallipoli

AUSTRALIAN MILITARY WWI GALLIPOLI

“A mere two weeks after the April landings at Anzac Cove, Gallipoli, the 2nd Australian Infantry Brigade added further to its honours by the charge at the Second Battle of Krithia. In the space of an hour, the brigade had lost 1000 dead and wounded. This heroic but costly charge was described by several survivors as “sheer murder” Those two battles, which form the foundation of the Anzac tradition, are vividly retold through the diaries and letters of officers and men of the four Victorian battalions of the brigade.”
