		The storming of The Nek by the 3rd Light Horse Brigade on August 7, 1915, is one of the most controversial actions in Australian military history.
		Before the battle of The Nek, the background that led up to the 3rd Light Horse Brigade being effectively ordered to die is important to establish.
		Where Hamilton is at his strongest is in his vivid portrayal of the men in battle and the slaughter, on both the Australian and Turkish sides, at Gallipoli.

		The charge at the Nek is a different battle from the historic charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava.
		The disastrous battle was paid for in blood as hundreds of young men -- mainly from rural Victoria and Western Australia -- were ``mowed'' down by enemy fire as they continued to charge an impregnable position.
		As each line of 150 men was ordered to climb over the parapet and charge towards the Turks just 40 metres away, they were mowed down by machine guns, forcing the next line of men to scramble over the dead and dying bodies of their own comrades to continue the futile charge.

	A battle from 'Commando' by Deneys Reitz
		All remained quiet until three in the morning, when out of the darkness there came the sound of shots followed by confused shouting and trampling, but as the noise died down after a while we let things be.
		Shortly before daybreak, when it was growing light, two large mules came trotting up from below, their head-ropes trailing on the ground, and on bringing the animals to a halt we found that one of them carried on his back the barrel of a mountain gun, and the other a leathern box containing shell ammunition.
		The top of Nicholson's Nek is a broad level plateau dotted with outcrops of loose boulders, and, on breasting the rim, we were for a moment or two unable to gauge the situation.

		However, my preference is that the XDP file should conform to the values specified by RCAF Gunner's NEK, see http://members.shaw.ca/rcafgunner/nek/information.htm for details.
