THE GALLIPOLI SERIES

I have always felt that Gallipoli was a pivotal moment in the course of Western Civilization. This was the moment of daring and dash, where an Achilles-like hero came forth with a spectacular move to change the world.

The result was the classic Quixotic adventure of tragedy we all know that defined the 20th Century.

MAJOR GENERAL WILLIAM THROSBY BRIDGES, Bridges' division was the first ashore at ANZAC Cove on 25 April 1915 and very soon after he argued for immediate evacuation, owing to what he saw as a hopeless situation. The force stayed and he began paying routine visits to the firing line, showing disregard for his own safety. On 15 May a sniper's bullet severed his femoral artery and he died three days later on board a hospital ship. He became the only Australian killed in the First World War to have his remains returned to Australia; he was buried at Duntroon (AWM).
