2. Winston Churchill Churchills plan By December 1914, fighting in Europe was at a virtual standstill. Allied troops had stopped the Germans getting to Paris but were unable to push them backwards along the Western Front. Meanwhile on the Eastern front, harsh winter conditions meant that neither the Russian nor the Germans armies fighting each other were making much headway. Churchill thought that capturing the capital of Turkey, would allow more supplies to reach Russian troops, giving them an advantage over the Germans. He also thought that a victory in the region would convince some of the Turkeys neighbours to support the Allies. This would put pressure on Germany, but to capture the Allies they first had to take control of the Dardanelles, an important strait of the water. The Gallipoli Peninsula was at the entrance to the Dardanelles. That’s why the Anzacs were sent to Gallipoli.

3. Anzacs leaving NZ The men thought they were off on a great adventure. They thought they were sailing to Great Britain, and then to fight against the Germans in France. Many of them had been born in Britain and thought they would have a chance to see their old friends and family whilst they were there.

4. Commication Although the telephone was invented there was no electricity Radios were used often but if the radios broke down they would used Carrier pigeons instead. Wire and Wireless radios were used by the army to warn people about bombers. Carrier pigeons were used to send messages to other soldiers in the trenches.
