Pics from a visit to the Gallipoli peninsula, where British, Australian, New Zealanders, and French troops landed on 25 April 1915 with the aim of closing off the Dardanelles and seizing Istanbul to knock Turkey out of the war. Instead it turned into bloody trench warfare with tens of thousands of killed and injured on both sides until the Allied powers nine months later withdrew having realised the futility of the operation.
