During the Gallipoli campaign of World War I, hundreds of British soldiers disappeared during a failed assault near Suvla Bay. In the years that followed, rumors began to spread that the battalion had vanished under mysterious circumstances — swallowed by a strange cloud seen hovering over the battlefield. Drawing from wartime records, witness testimony, and later investigations, this story explores how one of the First World War's most enduring mysteries emerged from the chaos and confusion of combat.

Four miles from the beaches of Gallipoli stood a small village called Krithia. Allied commanders believed it could be captured in a single day. Instead, thousands of British, French, Australian and New Zealand troops would die trying to reach it. Beneath the heights of Achi Baba, repeated assaults collapsed in gunfire, confusion and bloodshed, turning the southern tip of Gallipoli into a battlefield of trenches, shattered scrub and mass graves.

Long before Gallipoli, The Boer War shaped Australia's identity, but how many people still remember it, over a century later?

Have you ever wondered what it was actually like to survive in the trenches of the Gallipoli Front in the First World War? Not the battles we read about in textbooks, but the heat, the flies, the constant shellfire, and only metres from the enemy. In this episode we ask, and answer those very questions.

One of the earliest films from Oscar-nominated Austrailian director Peter Weir (Witness, Dead Poet's Society, The Truman Show, Master & Commander), this is a stirring tale of one of THE pivotal events in the history of Australia: their campaign with British forces to fight the Turkish forces in World War I on the hills of Gallipoli more than a hundred years ago.  The story focuses on two young Austrailian sprinters (Mark Lee, Mel Gibson) who enlist together and form a strong bond, before eventually facing the brutal realities of "The Great War" when they are sent to fight.  When it came out forty-five years ago, this film was not only a seminal event in Australian cinema for war movies overall.  It also co-stars Bill Kerr, John Murphy, and Bill Hunter. Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/ 

In deze aflevering van Side Quest schuift Jos Hoebe aan. Hij vertelt over zijn nieuwste game Gallipoli, de ontwikkeling ervan, de geschiedenis achter zijn eerdere titels en natuurlijk het conflict waar de game zich op focust. Verder duiken we diep het FPS genre in, van Battlefield tot Call of Duty, en bespreken we waarom die games ons nog steeds blijven bezighouden. Daarnaast heeft Sjaak weer veel te veel uren gestoken in Crusader Kings III, raadt hij de nieuwe Regular Show aan en speelde hij zowaar een nieuwe game: Dead as Disco, inclusief muziek van Django Wagner. Tom is ondertussen verder gegaan met Saros, al begint die game hem langzaam een beetje kwijt te raken.Hoofdstukken:(00:00:00) intro met Jos van Blackmill Games(00:00:30) Hoe is het met Jos(00:02:10) Waarom een korte delay?(00:03:20) Hoe is het met Sjaak(00:04:15) Hoe is het met Tom(00:04:40) Wie is Jos en wat is Blackmill Games? (00:15:30) Gallipoli, zijn nieuwe game(00:23:00) Veldonderzoek voor Gallipoli(00:25:30) Mooie spullen(00:26:40) Turken, Australiërs en Nieuw-Zeelanders(00:32:30) Alles met respect behandelen(00:38:00) Grote aanpassingen(00:42:00) Hoe hardcore is Gallipoli?(00:47:10) Je kan niet mikken?

The Savoyard Crusade of 1366 was a late-medieval military expedition led by Amadeus VI, known as the "Green Count," to assist his cousin, the Byzantine Emperor John V Palaiologos. Amadeus successfully recaptured the strategic fortress of Gallipoli from the Ottoman Turks and later campaigned against the Bulgarian Empire to secure the Emperor's release from captivity. Although the expedition achieved notable short-term victories and briefly bolstered Byzantine defenses, the gains were largely reversed within a few years as the Ottomans consolidated their control over the Balkans.The History of Modern Greece Podcast covers the events from Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, and the fall of Constantinople in 1453, to the years under the Ottoman Empire, and 1821 when the Greeks fought for independence... all the way to the modern-day.EMAIL US: historyofmoderngreece@gmail.comWebsite: www.moderngreecepodcast.comSOCIAL MEDIA: Go here to chat with us. https://www.instagram.com/historyofmodern%20greece/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578023316172Music by Mark Jungerman: www.marcjungermann.com

In 1915, France sent an army to Gallipoli. Few in the English speaking world know this, and few in France remember their efforts. In this episode, we recover the forgotten story of the French contribution to the campaign. The landing on the Asian shore and the colonial soldiers who held the right flank at Helles is for eight brutal months.

Fire Up! is joined by Venues NSW and Sydney Roosters lawyer, Stephen Gorry, not dressed in a suit. It turns out there are better military ciphers than the landing at Gallipoli as the Dragons and the Storms suffered in manners resembling way more one sided wars.As always, Turbo's hammies and AI Gus feature.And we touch on the Jarome Luai trip to PNG and what it could mean. Well, it means that he can easily continue to afford the customised 'LUAI' number plates as it was confirmed that he's off to PNG in 2028 just after we turned off the mikes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1915, Anzac troops landed on the rugged coastline of Gallipoli in an attempt to break the Ottoman defences from the north. What they encountered were steep cliffs, chaos and devastating fire from concealed Turkish positions. This is the story of the Anzac landings.

Australians have marked Anzac Day across the country and in Gallipoli with ceremonies remembering those who have served. Despite the solemnity of the occasion, dawn services in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth have been marred by heckling. Veterans' groups and political leaders condemned the incidents as a disrespectful violation of Anzac Day. - Австралийцы по всей стране и в Галлиполи отметили День АНЗАК памятными церемониями в честь тех, кто служил стране. Несмотря на торжественный и скорбный характер этого дня, утренние памятные церемонии в Сиднее, Мельбурне и Перте были омрачены выкриками из толпы. Ветеранские организации и политические лидеры осудили эти инциденты, назвав их проявлением неуважения и нарушением духа Дня АНЗАК.

Australians across the country rose at dawn on Saturday, 25 April to mark Anzac Day, commemorating the 111th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings before participating in the annual Anzac Day parades. This year's commemorations in Sydney and Melbourne again saw participation from the Nepali-speaking community led by the Brigade of Gurkhas, including serving members of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and former members of the Nepali Army (NA). SBS Nepali spoke to participants, including veterans, their families, and other community members and leaders who took part in the parades, about the present-day conflicts around the world and the ongoing impact of war.

Veterans' groups and political leaders condemned the incidents as a disrespectful violation of Anzac Day.

All around the world, people are commemorating Anzac Day. Thousands of people are attending the Dawn Services, parades, and other commemorations for the ANZAC forces who died at Gallipoli. But something many people may not have done is visit the graves of those soldiers in Europe. This is the first Anzac Day since Kevin Milne visited his great uncles' graves to pay respects, and joined Jack Tame to discuss the moving experience.

Journalist and author Jimmy Thomson believes there is one group of soldiers who have been overlooked: the combat engineers or ‘sappers'. It was their job to clear the way for others to follow and Thomson says that makes them the first ANZACs.

Every Anzac Day we tell the story of the men in the boats. This year, we're telling the story of the men on the cliffs above them.On April 25th, 1915, Deputy Officer Muharrem stood in a shallow trench above a small cove on the Gallipoli coast and watched 4000 Australian soldiers rowing toward him through the darkness. He had 160 men to stop them. No reinforcements. No artillery. No orders. Behind him, the German general commanding the Turkish army had galloped off to the wrong end of the peninsula, chasing a landing that didn't exist. The chain of command had collapsed. Muharrem was on his own.What happened next is one of the most remarkable stories of the entire Gallipoli campaign. Two Turkish colonels who didn't wait for permission to act. A desperate forced march across an open plain under naval gunfire. A single field gun manhandled onto a ridge by its exhausted crew. And a bluff that stopped the Anzacs from winning the day."The bastards will give us a go after all," said Lance Corporal George Mitchell, as the first Turkish bullets hit the water around his boat."I was very frightened," said Turkish Private Adil Sahin, shaken awake by a sentry as the boats appeared below him. "We didn't know anything about this invasion."Two armies. Two perspectives. One dawn that decided the fate of the entire campaign.Episode Length: 40 minutesFeatures: First-person accounts from Turkish defenders including Captain Faik, Private Adil Sahin and Lieutenant Colonel Mustafa Kemal; Australian voices from Charles Bean's Official History and Bill Gammage's The Broken Years; and material drawn from Mat McLachlan's book Krithia: The Forgotten Anzac Battle of Gallipoli (Hachette, 2024).Presenter: Mat McLachlanProducer: Jess StebnickiSail through history with Mat McLachlan!

The New Zealand Defence force is leading this year's ANZAC dawn service at Gallipoli in Turkey. It's also leading Aotearoa's service at Chunuk Bair; the hill captured by Kiwi soldiers but later lost to an Ottoman counter attack, after the New Zealand soldiers had been relieved. More than 16,000 New Zealanders served in the campaign and almost 2,700 of them died; about a sixth of all those who had landed on the peninsula. A campaign that's played a signficant role in New Zealand national identity. John Mcleod spoke to Lisa Owen.

Anzac Day, the anniversary of the 1915 Gallipoli landing of Australian and New Zealand troops in Turkey, is an important day in Australia. When the First World War broke out in 1914, around 30,000 serving Australians from different heritages, including Indian landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula on 25 April 1915, fought to help Britain in the conflict, that costed a huge number of casualties.

Anzac Day services have been held around the country, with thousands attending dawn services, parades, and commemorations. More than 8000 Kiwis arrived on the Gallipoli Peninsula on April 25, 1915, as the Allies unsuccessfully attempted to capture the Strait of Gallipoli from the Ottomans. By the campaign's end in January 1916, 2779 had been killed – close to a sixth of those who had landed there. Today marks the 111th anniversary of the land invasion, commemorating the first significant military campaign involving Australian and New Zealand armed services. Commodore Shane Arndell told Jack Tame that thousands attended the service at the National War Memorial in Wellington, showing that today's generation has taken custodian of the remembrance of those that have passed. He says that our forebears gave the ultimate sacrifice to give us the lives we lead, and on days like today he thinks about them and how important it is for us to ensure that we still have the freedom and access to global markets to keep us both prosperous and secure.

It would have to be among the single-most overdue law changes in New Zealand. I don't know about you, but until the Anzac Amendment Bill came before Parliament this year, I didn't realise that modern servicemen and women weren't technically recognised on Anzac Day. Under the letter of the law, only those who served up to 1966 were officially commemorated. Obviously, that's wrong. Although of course Anzac Day began as an occasion to commemorate those who served in the Gallipoli campaign —and it will always honour the original ANZACs— the many contributions across different campaigns, theatres and missions since are wholly worthy of our acknowledgement and appreciation. And while I suppose some could argue that it didn't really matter, that modern servicepeople are always allowed to march in modern services, and that a law change is simply symbolic, I would argue that symbolism is at the core of Anzac Day. It matters. For the nerds like me who spend a lot of time following international news, I feel like the sacrifice of those past feels that tiny bit closer in 2026. I am of a generation that has grown up in the world the ANZACs fought for. Here in New Zealand, I have flourished with the myriad benefits of peace and security. It's very easy to take for granted when you don't know anything else. And I don't want to be too doom and gloom other than to say that clearly the security and peace that much of the world has enjoyed for many decades feels more brittle and more fragile than any time in my life. That which they fought for, that which they died for, should never be taken for granted. Listen to Jack's chat with Commodore Shane Arndell about Anzac Day and this morning's services here.

With special guest: Dr Michael Molkentin… in conversation with Bill Kable If we are looking for a genuine Australian hero then we need go no further than South Australian Sir Ross Macpherson Smith born in 1892. After he volunteered to enlist for the First World War Ross Smith had a very full but tragically short life. His first experience of war was to wade ashore at Gallipoli, not in the first wave on 25 April 1915 and not on a horse as he might have expected having joined the 1st Light Horse Brigade as an excellent horseman. His early experience in the War was mostly as an infantry man although he did have one engagement mounted on a horse. Podcast (mp3)

25th April - ANZAC Day 2026 we pay respect to some of our Indigenous service men and women and honour their dedication, commitment and sacrifices for country including that of the late great - Private Valentine Hare from Queensland served in the First World War with the Australian Army in the 2nd Light Horse Regiment, he travelled with the regiment to far away shores of the Middle East to Egypt and Gallipoli.

In this interview episode, Dr Daniel Reynaud, author of The Man The Anzacs Revered, tells us about the colourful and incredibly brave AIF chaplain William McKenzie, who was a Salvation Army officer on the frontlines with the Diggers at Gallipoli and then on the Western Front. In his time, ‘Fighting Mac' was beloved around Australia and the inspiration for many tall tales. But his truth is even more striking. So why has he been forgotten?See Forgotten Australia live!

Examining a lesser-known aspect of the 1915 Gallipoli campaign, this podcast focuses on the role of Indian soldiers who served alongside Anzac troops. Peter Stanley sheds light on Australia's British–Indian military heritage that most Australians don't know about, using historic records and images from WWI. Take a deep dive into how Sikhs, Muslims, Gurkhas and Anzacs fought side by side, forming bonds that outlived the war. - ਯੂਨੀਵਰਸਿਟੀ ਆਫ ਨਿਊ ਸਾਊਥ ਵੇਲਜ਼ ਦੇ ਪ੍ਰੋਫੈਸਰ ਪੀਟਰ ਸਟੈਨਲੀ ਪਿਛਲੇ ਦੋ ਦਹਾਕਿਆਂ ਤੋਂ ਵਿਸ਼ਵ ਜੰਗਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਭਾਰਤੀ ਫੌਜੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਯੋਗਦਾਨ ‘ਤੇ ਖੋਜ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ। ਵੈਸਟਰਨ ਸਿਡਨੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਦਿੱਤੇ ਇੱਕ ਲੈਕਚਰ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਗੈਲੀਪੋਲੀ ਦੀ ਲੜਾਈ ਵਿੱਚ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਅਨ, ਨਿਊਜ਼ੀਲੈਂਡ ਅਤੇ ਭਾਰਤੀ ਸਿਪਾਹੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਸਾਂਝੀ ਬਹਾਦੁਰੀ ਅਤੇ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੀਆਂ ਬਾਰੇ ਚਰਚਾ ਕੀਤੀ। ਇਸ ਪੌਡਕਾਸਟ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਿੱਖ, ਮੁਸਲਮਾਨ ਅਤੇ ਗੋਰਖਾ ਸਿਪਾਹੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਯੋਗਦਾਨ ਬਾਰੇ ਸੁਣੋ ਜੋ ਕਿ ਇਤਿਹਾਸਕ ਤੱਥਾਂ ਸਮੇਤ ਪੇਸ਼ ਕੀਤੇ ਗਏ ਹਨ।

Chris Bishop: National leadership and his policy ambitions Chris Bishop's name has repeatedly been raised in media reports about discontent with the National Party's leadership. Despite being stripped of his campaign chair and leader of the house titles, the Hutt South MP continues to carry some of the most important portfolios in government: transport, housing, and infrastructure. Just over six months until the election, he joins Jack Tame to discuss the top job and how the $49 billion gap in funding New Zealand's roads of national significance will be addressed. Former Labour minister on building back trust after scandal Michael Wood was once a rising star in the Labour government's Cabinet, but after he failed to act on advice to divest himself of his shares in Auckland Airport, he resigned from his Ministerial portfolios in transport, workplace relations, immigration, and as minister for Auckland, and was not returned to his electorate seat in 2023. Three years on, he joins Jack Tame to discuss whether he has regained the confidence of the Labour caucus. Budget cuts come for online ANZAC commemoration Veterans and historians are in disbelief at government plans to archive the Ngā Tapuwae Trails website, a live, self-guided tour of Gallipoli and the Western Front, on the grounds that the website costs too much for a low number of people who use it. Join Jack Tame and the Q+A team and find the answers to the questions that matter. Made with the support of NZ on Air.

In 1915 Winston Churchill had a plan to end the war with a single blow: he called it a master stroke of strategy, history remembers it as a catastrophe. This is the story of how Gallipoli was born and why it was doomed before a single soldier set foot on the beaches.

Mark Wright's one-man theatre show 'Voices from Gallipoli' tells the story of the brave men and women who sailed halfway around the world over 100 years ago.

This week, we are honored to welcome Australian filmmaker Jennifer Kent to the podcast as we discuss Peter Weir's devastating classic Gallipoli. In addition to bringing much needed context on the history of Australian cinema, this episode also delves into the significance of the Gallipoli Campaign in the Aussie national consciousness, the undersung career of actor Mark Lee, and the genius of Peter Weir's approach to telling this story. Plus, we get to ask Jennifer about her role in Babe: Pig in the City AND we ask her to tell her buddy Justin Kurzel how much Ben loves his Assassin's Creed movie.

In March 1885, thirty years before Gallipoli, 770 men from New South Wales sailed for the deserts of Sudan — the first Australian soldiers ever sent to fight in a foreign war.In this episode, Mat McLachlan tells the forgotten story of Australia's Sudan Contingent — the part-time soldiers, weekend volunteers and colonial clerks who marched through Sydney in scarlet jackets to a crowd of 200,000, then crossed the world to serve alongside the Scots Guards and Grenadier Guards at Suakin. Through the soldiers' own words, we follow their journey from the excitement of departure to the brutal reality of an African desert — where the nights were more dangerous than the days, the enemy poisoned the waterholes, and the real killer wasn't bullets but disease.From Acting Premier William Bede Dalley's extraordinary decision to send troops without consulting parliament, to the Guards' bewildered reaction to their colonial allies, from Private Robert Weir's father farewell — "I look upon you as going to your grave" — to the cruel death of Martin Guest, who survived the desert only to die in the rain at his own homecoming parade, this is the story of an expedition that achieved almost nothing militarily but changed Australia forever.Nine men died. None of them in battle. All of them from disease. And out of those nine graves grew a tradition that would define a nation — the idea that when the call came, Australia would answer.Historian K.S. Inglis called it "The Rehearsal." It was — for everything that came after.Episode Length: 30 minutesFeatures: First-person accounts from Private Tom Gunning, Lieutenant William Cope, and Private Frank Walters; primary source letters from the Nepean Times and Sydney Morning Herald; and the remarkable story of how forty baskets of fish gave a Sydney beach its name.Presenter: Mat McLachlanProducer: Jess StebnickiReady to walk in the footsteps of those who fought?

It's been a few days since we last looked at the Persian Gulf crisis, and events are racing forward at such a pace that the only sensible approach is to take a step back and examine the deeper patterns. Behind the headlines about Trump's impulsive decision-making lies a far more consequential story: the moment when a medium-sized power with cheap drones and missiles can hold the world's energy supplies hostage, and the world's sole superpower finds itself with no good options.I begin with the decision-making in Washington—or rather, the absence of it. Trump, advised by Netanyahu and a handful of Fox News personalities, appears to have launched this war on a whim, assuming he could create "media noise" with no thought to an exit strategy. Military planners who understand the region have been overruled. The system of American governance has decayed to the point where a single egotistical hustler can launch the country into a no-win scenario.Why no-win? Because Iran has been preparing for this moment for years. Its arsenal of drones, rockets, missiles, mines, and attack boats makes the safe navigation of the Straits of Hormuz virtually impossible. The idea of an international naval flotilla—Trump's proposed solution—is laughable. You would have to maintain it forever, and Iran would interpret any passage not agreeable to them as a hostile act.I draw a historical parallel: the Dardanelles campaign of 1915. The reason the Allies landed at Gallipoli was because the first attempt to sail through the straits ended in disaster, with British and French ships sunk by shore-based fortifications. The Straits of Hormuz will become exactly that kind of killing zone. It doesn't matter how big your navy is. How many capital ships is America willing to sacrifice for a war Trump started on a whim? How many American lives before the outcry sweeps him from office?The asymmetry of war is changing. Cheap, mass-produced drones—with motorcycle engines and mobile phones for guidance—can overwhelm anti-missile systems like Patriot and THAAD. Aircraft carriers, the symbol of American power for eighty years, may no longer be the tools for enforcing world order that they once were. China has been signalling this for years with its spectacular drone displays over Beijing: "Imagine what we can do if we attach something to them."Then there are the geopolitical consequences. Europe will rapidly rapproche with Russia to access cheap hydrocarbons. The Ukraine war will likely be settled in Russia's favour. The push for renewables will gain a new argument: national security, liberation from Trump's whims. Rachel Reeves, the British Chancellor, has already signalled where the wind is blowing, choosing Ursula von der Leyen over Trump when asked.The special relationship is dying. Suez was a humiliation; this is worse. The British political class is finally waking up to the reality that clinging to America's coat-tails no longer offers protection—only entanglement in unwinnable wars.And then there's Israel. Nuclear-armed, increasingly isolated, and with an American public whose support has reached an all-time low. If America withdraws from the Gulf, what sense does it make to support Israel as Iran's key enemy? But Israel has always reserved the right to act unilaterally. The situation between Iran and Israel is the one that will continue, long after the current crisis resolves—if it resolves.I end with two possible futures: a quick resolution where Trump claims an illusory victory and moves on, or a protracted conflict that drags the world into an endless energy crisis. Either way, the lesson of North Korea has been learned: the only protection against American aggression is a nuclear weapon. Iran will never sign another enrichment treaty.Explaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews. We connect the past to the present.
