    Gallipoli marks 90th anniversary

     

    Turkish soldiers prepare for the Anzac Day ceremonies

    Two days of ceremonies have begun on Turkey's Gallipoli peninsula to mark the 90th anniversary of the bloody Gallipoli landings of World War One.

    More than 100,000 men died during the failed eight-month attempt by the Allies to gain a foothold in Turkey and open a supply line to Russia.

     

    Sunday's services will honour British, French and Turkish troops who died.

     

    Thousands of Australians and New Zealanders will attend services on Monday, the anniversary of the attack.

     

    More than 11,000 Australian and New Zealand troops - known as the Anzacs - were killed in the campaign.

     

    Many historians trace the rise of Australian nationalism to the Gallipoli landings.

     

    Monday marks 90 years from the day when troops stormed ashore at Suvla on the west coast of Turkey's Gallipoli peninsula.

     

    Stalemate

     

    But the Allies - intending to occupy Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman empire - failed to throw back the Turkish defenders and a long and bloody stalemate ensued.

     

    The Prince of Wales is expected to take part in Sunday's ceremonies.

     

     

     

    Young Australians and New Zealanders are already beginning to fill the hotels, bars and hostels of the Gallipoli peninsula.

     

    Over the years Gallipoli has come to be thought of by some as an Australian and New Zealand operation, says the BBC's Turkey correspondent Jonny Dymond, but nearly 9,000 French, 21,000 British and Irish and 86,000 Turkish troops died attacking and defending the thin strip of land.

     

    No campaign veterans are still alive, but many relatives still visit Anzac cove, named after the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who died there.

     

    The anniversary will also be marked in Australia where every state capital is holding a parade and memorial service.

     

    The dawn service from Gallipoli will be televised nationwide.

     

    "Historians still struggle to understand why what was really a very costly stalemate [...] became a national legend almost immediately," Margaret Anderson, director of the History Trust of South Australia told the Australian Associated Press.

     

    "Whatever the reasons, from the beginning, Gallipoli was hailed as Australia's national baptism of fire."

    yeah i lived in nyc for a bit recently and didnt see anything running. They may hit the trains but they get buffed quick and hard. thats why the americans stick mostly to the streets now. i'm not starting shit and i love what is going on over seas i just dont see it here. i dont have any of those magazines everyone recommended. painting just for flicks sucks.....i'd rather see something run for awhile.

     

     

    I don`t see shit run on subs here either, doesnt mean they don`t get done.. Well Xmas is nearly here, you never know your might catch a glimpse of something..

    But, if the Europeans are so much harder/dedicated than Americans why dont they travel over here and take over? Show us how its done. I dont see it happening.
