The Making of a Legend, The Landing at Anzac Cove by Lambert. Landing at dawn on 25th April 1915 about 8,000 Anzacs fought their way off the narrow, stony beach. They moved upwards and inland through treacherous terrain and fierce concentrated fire from entrenched and well prepared Turkish positions. By evening they had gained some 2,000 metres and each side lost about 2,000 men. After 8 months of fighting the troops were withdrawn. Both the Allies and Turks had committed some 500,000 men each to the ill fated Dardanelles campaign. The Anzacs had lost 10,000 killed and 26,000 wounded. |

A Shell burst close To Private Jackson, Blowing Off His Arm When Assisting To Bring In A Wounded Man. Following a successful raid, several raiders were seriously wounded by shellfire. Private William Jackson, of the Australian Infantry, got safely back, and after handing over a prisoner, went out again, under heavy shellfire, and assisted in bringing in a wounded man. He then went out again, and with a sergeant was bringing in another wounded man, when a shell blew off his arm and the sergeant was rendered unconscious. He set a splendid example, and for his most conspicuous bravery was awarded the V.C. |
Private W. F. Faulds Carries Back A Wounded Officer, Lieutenant Craig, To His Trench Across Open Ground Between The British And German Lines. A bombing party attempted to rush across the ground between the British and enemy trenches, but in doing so the officer, Lieutenant Craig, and the majority of his men were killed or wounded. Lieutenant Craig was unable to move, and in full daylight Private William Faulds, of the South African Infantry, and two others, climbed over the parapet, ran out, picked up the officer and carried him back, one man being severely wounded in doing so. Two days later Faulds again showed most conspicuous bravery in going out alone to bring in a wounded man. He was deservedly awarded the V.C. |
Private Cooke Continues To Fire His Machine Gun After Every Member Of The Gun Team Had Been Killed Or Wounded. After a Lewis gun had been disabled, Private Cooke, of the Australian Infantry, was ordered to take his gun and gun team to a dangerous part of the line. Here he did fine work, but came under very heavy fire, with the result that finally he was the only man left. He still stuck to his post, and continued to fire his gun, but when assistance was sent he was found dead. He had set a splendid example of determination and devotion to duty, for which he was posthumously, awarded the V.C. |
