7. A picture that sums up not only the insouciance of the jolly Jack Tar but also the sheer size of the mighty 15″ guns of the Queen Elizabeth. They fired a shell weighing 1,920-pounds over 32,000 yards. The problem was hitting a worthwhile target. (IWM Q 13240)
8. V Beach, 25 April 1915. A moment in time frozen forever. The view from the River Clyde during the stalled landings. Some of the Munster Fusiliers are sheltering in the lighters and there are Dublin Fusiliers sheltering behind the five foot bank on the beach. (IWM Q 50473)
9. The teeming store depot established by the French at V Beach. Thousands of tons of munitions, food and general supplies had to be brought thousands of miles, transhipped and brought ashore in the makeshift harbour, all under the constant threat of shell fire from Asiatic Annie from across the Dardanelles Straits. (IWM Q 13857)
10. Landing at Anzac, 25 April 1915. The second wave move in moving away from the destroyers towards the Anzac shoreline. (IWM Q 99270)
11. The senior officers of Turkish 27th Regiment who won the day at Anzac on 25 April. Sitting in the centre of the front row is Colonel Sefik Bey while sitting beside him on the left is Major Halis Bey. (Serdar Halis Collection)
12. The front line at Anzac. This gives a superb indication of claustrophobia in the trenches. Notice the chap with the periscope, looking for unwary Turks while the man on the right is ready to fire his periscope rifle once the exact location of a prospective victim has been identified. (IWM Q 13428)
13. The miracle of Anzac Cove: The men on the beach were by no means safe and were constantly under risk of Turkish shell fire. They honeycombed into the hills, in terraces and despite all the problems managed to establish a supply depot for the whole of ANZAC Corps. (IWM Q 13603)
14. The King’s Own Scottish Borderers go over the top during the Third Battle of Krithia, 4 June 1915. (IWM Q 70701)
15/16. The Manchesters of 127th Brigade, 42nd Division go over the top Krithia, 4 June 1915. These once callow soldiers learned a great deal about war during their few weeks at Helles – if they survived. (IWM Q 81454/81452)
17. Gully Beach and the entrance to Gully Ravine. The headquarters of the 42nd Division was based here for most of the campaign. Dugouts burrow into the hillside and the horse lines can be seen just inside the gully. (IWM Q 13400)
18. Gurkhas of 29th Indian Brigade inside Gully Ravine. Gallipoli was a true multinational campaign. (IWM HU 105665)
19. ‘Splinter Villa’ a makeshift dugout and its proud owners at Anzac. (IWM Q 13797)
20. Cheerful in adversity: just a hole in the ground and a groundsheet for ‘cover’ at W Beach, September 1915. (IWM Q 13803)
21. French infantry manning the line within thirty yards of the Turks. (IWM Q 13502)
22. French soldier carrying his wounded comrade back through the communications trenches. (IWM Q 13489)
23. A French soldier cautiously looking over the side of a communication trench at Helles. (IWM Q 13491)
24. Support troops of the 4th Australian Brigade wait behind Quinn’s Post, 29 May 1915. (IWM HU 50622)
25. Stretcher cases on their way back through a crowded narrow communication trench. For the badly wounded, bumped and jolted about, their life’s blood leaching away, broken bones grating, this could be a journey through hell. (IWM Q 13325)
26. A grainy view of the Yeomanry of the 2nd Mounted Division advancing under shell fire across Suvla Bay towards Chocolate Hill on the afternoon of 21 August 1915. (IWM Q 70704)
27. British soldier offering water to Turkish prisoner. (IWM Q 13255)
28. Turkish prisoners being marched back by Zouave escort at Helles. (IWM Q 13245 )
29. Field Marshal Lord Kitchener, Secretary of State for War during his whistle stop visit to the front lines at Anzac Cove in November 1915. He is accompanied by Lieutenant General William Birdwood commanding the ANZAC Corps. (IWM Q 13595)
30. Happier days before the storm. Men of the A&NZ Division aboard the Lutzow from which they landed at Anzac on 25 April 1915. (IWM Q 13798)
31. An iconic view of the store dumps ablaze photographed from the Cornwallis after the evacuation of Suvla on the night of 19 December. (IWM Q 13679)
32. The grave of Lieutenant Colonel Dick Doughty Wylie VC, buried on Hill 141 where he was killed on 26 April 1915. (IWM Q 13709)
