Gallipoli

As dawn breaks on April 25, 1915, seventeen-year-old Thomas "Tolly" Johnson lands with the ANZAC troops at Gallipoli and finds himself in a chaotic, brutal battle for the Turkish heights.

After a month of heavy fighting, the Anzac and Turkish soldiers meet in No Man's Land during a cease fire to bury their dead. Tolly risks his life by charging a machine gun nest to protect his brother.

Tolly is promoted ahead of his older brother, but disaster strikes when their platoon launches a surprise midnight attack.

Tolly se remet de ses blessures au Caire et retourne à contrecœur sur la ligne de front à Gallipoli.

In August 1915, General Hamilton devises a massive attack across the Gallipoli Peninsula to break the stalemate. Tolly and his mates defy the odds to win the Battle of Lone Pine, while the Light Horseman are decimated at The Nek.

Le journaliste australien Keith Murdoch rend visite au Premier ministre britannique avec une lettre secrète qui va changer le cours de la guerre. Tolly est félicité pour sa bravoure à Lone Pine, tandis que Dave refuse d'obtenir de l'aide pour une maladie chronique.

British commanders quickly withdraw troops before the arrival of the Germans moving towards the front line. As tens of thousands army troops evacuate from Gallipoli, Tolly stays behind, guarding the emptying trenches.
