In WWI, the Gallipoli Campaign was an effort by the Allied forces to capture the Dardanelles from the Ottoman Empire who were allies of Germany. Australians and New Zealanders were part of a large British force that landed on the Gallipoli peninsula in 1915. It was a disastrous campaign, and over 10,000 men were killed in this conflict. It has been argued that the forces landed at the wrong site, making it difficult to get supplies or reinforces to the troops.
When British Generals realised that the fight at Gallipoli was hopeless, they ordered the evacuation. On the Anzac's part this was the most successful mission so far because it resulted in only two casualities. The forces in Gallipoli were evacuated from late November to early December 1915 after less than a year of battling.

The idea behind the Anzac's landing on Gallipoli was to eventually meet up with the British forces who were landing at a southerly peninsula. The British would advance up the peninsula while the ANZAC would head up the peninsula and defeat the Turkish army which would make the use of the Dardanelles
