The obvious devastation/destruction is horrendous/horrific. The Allies suffered mass casualties. Such 'suicide missions' from so called British Leaders was despicable and there has been no official apology to the ANZACs. There has also been no official apology from British Leaders to ANZACs over another 'suicide mission' at the Battle of Passchendaele on 9th October 1917 when 843 New Zealand soldiers were either dead or lying mortally wounded between the front lines. My grandfather served in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force Auckland 1st & 3rd Battalion, he was a corporal in the Rifle Brigade. He did not fight at Gallipoli however he fought in Egypt 2x ion 1915 & 1916. He then sailed to France and fought in Somme. He fell ill with several illnesses including piles, haemoroids, pleurisy, phlebitis, and septic throat and was wounded in battle. He spent time in NZ Military Hospitals in Alexandria, Tidworth, Sling, and Codford. He spent 3 years 157 days overseas. He returned to New Zealand a totally broken man. I remain his dedicated loyal grandson at the age of 57 and I will continue to commemorate ANZAC Day here in New Zealand in honor of my grandfather's service to New Zealand. I will fight for justice and an official apology from Britain & British government officials to all the ANZACs who sacrificed their lives for victory in WW1. Right The Wrong.

I think this is Seddülbahir Fort and Ertuğrul Cove at the southernmost tip of the Gallipoli peninsula. www.gallipoli.gov.au/explore-turkish-memorials/seddulbahi... The grounded steamer in the centre of the picture will be the 'River Clyde'.
