ANZACs First Day on Gallipoli
Here is a link that explains what happened on the ANZACs first day on Gallipoli.

One hundred years ago today my uncle John Wesley Cobb was wounded on Walker's Ridge, Gallipoli, receiving a gunshot wound to his thigh. John was evacuated to Cairo where he spent four months recuperating.

What a special day to remember the ANZACs in my family, particularly great Uncle John who landed in the Gallipoli peninsula 100 years ago today.
