	Landing at Anzac Cove - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The landing at Anzac Cove was part of the amphibious invasion of the Gallipoli peninsula by British and French forces on April 25, 1915.
		Anzac Cove itself is a shallow, nondescript stretch of beach about one kilometre wide, bounded by the headlands of Ari Burnu to the north and Hell Spit to the south.

		Peter Dowling The Gallipoli campaign and the landing at Anzac Cove are firmly embedded as an integral part of the Australian consciousness.
		As far as the Anzacs were concerned they were to land on the peninsula further north than the main landings and establish a line across the length of the peninsula from the Dardanelles to the Aegean Sea.
		Now, these statements before and after the landing would seem to indicate that Anzac Cove was indeed the intended place, particularly as they come from the two most senior members concerned with that part of the campaign.

		Anzac Cove looking towards [[Ari Burnu, 1915.]] Anzac Cove (in Turkish Anzak Koyu) is a small, unremarkable cove on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey made famous as the site of the First World War landing of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) on April 25, 1915.
		Anzac Cove was always within half a mile of the front-line, well within the range of Turkish artillery though spurs from the high ground of Plugge's Plateau, which rose above Ari Burnu, provided some protection.
		View of Anzac Cove from [[Ari Burnu, July 2004.]] On Anzac Day in 1985, the name "Anzac Cove" was officially recognised by the Turkish government.

	The Anzac Landing at Gallipoli - Why did the Anzacs Land?
		The first wave was scheduled to land a few minutes earlier, and the destroyers would then sail in, full speed ahead, adding a number of lifeboats borrowed from transport vessels to the tows that had been used by the first wave.
		But since the tows landed on both sides of a peninsula with only the dimmest glimmer of dawn to illuminate the scene, it is difficult to discover a solid basis for any claim on this score.
		It was only shortly after the landing that high command let it be known that an error had been made – the landing should have been made on Brighton Beach, south of Anzac Cove and in a locality of relatively friendly topography.

	Royal Australian Navy Gun Plot - ANZAC DAY Diggers at Gallipoli, Turkey
		By dawn on 20 December, ANZAC had faded into a dim blue line lost amid other hills on the horizon as the ships took their human freight to Imbros, Lemnos and Egypt.
		Anzac Cove was then a crazy turmoil of death and confusion.
		The Anzacs were then in a clearly defined triangle, with its base on the sea and its apex Quinn’s Post on the slopes of the ridge known as Sari Bair, about a thousand yards from the shore.

		With such a lack of space ANZAC very quickly took on the appearance of a gigantic rabbit warren, with holes dug into the hillsides, for personal shelters, as dressings stations for the field ambulances, and as headquarters units.
		From the sea ANZAC Cove reminded British officer Orlo Williams of “The cave dwellings of a large and prosperous tribe of savages [living] on the steep slopes of broken and sandy bluffs covered with scrub.”
		Turkish artillery occupied the heights on Chunuk Bair to the north east; on Scrubby Knoll and Anderson’s Knoll to the east; and at Gaba Tepe, four kilometres to the south.

		The remaining battalions of 3rd Brigade were landed into a constricted area of confusion but the men had been told that they were the covering force for their division so they dropped their packs and commenced to force their way upwards and inland searching for Turks.
		It is claimed that the mutual respect of ANZAC for Turk and Turk for ANZAC grew from this battle and subsequent armistice.
		A new landing was planned at Suvla Bay as a means of seizing a cluster of hills several kilometres inland and a series of feints were planned to stop the Turks reinforcing the threatened areas.

		These victories also have their roots in the sand and soil of Anzac Cove, and the unique relationship that was borne out of the terrible conflict that occurred between Turkish and Allied forces.
		Many young Australians who landed at Anzac Cove and who fought so valiantly for eight months may have realised that they were near a place called Troy, where the heroic armies written about by Homer battled to the end centuries before.
		I hope that are on their return from Anzac Cove, the history teachers will recall their visits in great detail in the material they produce for dissemination in schools.

	ANZAC Day - Stories from Australia's Culture and Recreation Portal
		On 25 April 1915, the ANZACs landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

		What followed the landing at Gallipoli is a story of courage and endurance, of death, and despair, of poor leadership from London, and unsuccessful strategies.

	Mapping Gallipoli: Maps at the landing at ANZAC Cove
		Before the landings at ANZAC Cove and Cape Helles the 1:40,000 maps were supplemented by intelligence acquired through aerial reconnaissance.
		On landing at Gallipoli, the officers found that the maps were not adequate for the campaign.
		Despite their inaccuracies, the maps continued to be used for months after the landing, until suitable replacements could be made.

	Australian Military Units
		As part of the attempt to seize the Gallipoli Peninsula in order to suppress the Turkish defences guarding the Dardanelles, military landings were made at Cape Helles at the southern tip of the peninsula (the main landing) and on the west coast near Ari Burnu.
		At this secondary objective two Divisions of the ANZAC Corps landed over 1 kilometre north of their planned objective (Gaba Tepe) and in the darkness and confusion of the early morning faced rugged and difficult country.
		While Turkish reinforcements arrived, the ANZAC position became increasingly precarious as the assaulting force failed to secure their initial objectives.

		It was the place where Australia became a nation and Ataturk wrote beautiful things about mothers and their sons.
		Apart from that, the entire Anzac area was considered to be one of the best - preserved World War I battlefields worldwide : for 90 years almost nothing had changed.
		Specialists were astonished at the degree of indifference, incompetence or worse that was displayed by the authorities responsible for the preservation of this 'sacred ground' where Anzacs as well as Turkish soldiers lost their lives.
