Anzac Day 2015: Gallipoli Dawn Service

LEST WE FORGET: Gallipoli’s 100 year anniversary memorials are observed at the Dawn Service in Turkey.

People attend the dawn service in Anzac Cove in commemoration of the Gallipoli War on the Turkish Gallipoli peninsula. Turkey and the former World War I Commonwealth foes of the Ottoman Empire joined together to honour the tens of thousands killed at the Battle of Gallipoli 100 years ago in one of the most futile yet emblematic campaigns of the conflict.
