watch a movie about Gallipoli so you get a feel for the type of people who
fought in this war and to help you picture conditions 96 years ago.
Once we arrive in Gallipoli we will have a fully guided tour, you will visit the
Kabatepe War Museum, Anzac Cove, Hell Spit Cemetery, Lone Pine, The Nek and
the Chunuk Bair War Memorial. You will then head to Anzac Cove to get
