Description
This documentary covers the 1915 Dardanelles (Gallipoli) Campaign in Turkey, which is regarded as one of the biggest Allied defeats of the First World War. Many Australians and New Zealanders, however, deem the 25th April 1915, when their soldiers landed at Gallipoli as a 'baptism of fire' and the real beginning of their nationhood. Was there another dimension to the Gallipoli Campaign other than the battles fought there? Kelvin Crombie seeks to answer these questions as he journeys to Britian, Europe, Turkey, Israel, Jordan, New Zealand and Australia. He discovers, in the process, that a road began at Gallipoli which was destined to lead to Jerusalem.
