In October 1915, the British recommended evacuation of the peninsula. This was to prove the most successful phase of the operation. The withdrawal was organised in three stages: reduction of troops to winter levels; withdrawal of all men and materiel not required to hold the position for the last two days; and the final withdrawal. The rules for the withdrawal laid down that the lives of the men were more important than saving weapons and equipment. The Turkish forces, it is now believed, were aware that an evacuation was to take place and allowed it to proceed unchallenged to preserve the lives of their own men.
The last Anzacs departed before dawn on 20 December 1915, from what is now the Anzac Commemorative Site. Only two were wounded during the withdrawal. On 8-9 January 1916, the British evacuated their positions at the southern end of the Gallipoli Peninsula.
