@hanachan131 Actually in the actual battle there were several soldiers made it to the trench wall of the Turks, one guy sat against the parapet smoking and lighting grenades to throw in the trenches until he ran out, under cover of darkness he crawled back towards the Australian trenches but inadvertently got lost in nearby Monash Valley, he took several days to return to safety.......sadly none of the others were ever seen again.

@topperheartramada The guy that got out of the trench running - he ran because those were his orders, to run towards the enemny trench he outran the others because (as it was shown at the beginning) he was a fast runner. For many soldiers if they even got the enemy trench they didn't know what to do and just ran back. Hope this clears it up (plus if you're in te enemy trench you're out of the machine-gun fire)

Can I ask one question: Why was that guy running? Because if you outrun your fellow soldiers and reach the enemy trench all by yourself, you are kind of in trouble. I guess he may have thought it was suicide anyway and he didn't really care, but I have always found that last scene awkward.

In 1934 Atatürk wrote a tribute to the ANZACs killed at Gallipoli

[3sene3bene]

"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side now here in this country of ours... you, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land. They have become our sons as well."

I said facts are objective, not history you seem to read everyting wrong -_-

Yeah go act like a teacher now, you wouldnt listen to anybody else either so why should i even try? Your acting kinda funny, but there is no winner and it doesnt seem like you can let my comment stay unanswerd, you dont care as less as you say =P

@JSLegoMaster Keep your shirt on mate!

Jag vill inte sloss med dig. En tahdo tapella sinun kansa. I don't want to fight with you. Go on believing whatever it is you want to believe. I know I can't change that so why should I even try. I don't think history is objective, but never mind. It is only my personal evaluation after all. And yes I do want to get off the topic.

Now if you must interpret this as a fight then I can't change that either. I give up! I surrender! You win!
