The Making of a Legend, The Landing at Anzac Cove by Lambert.
Landing at dawn on 25th April 1915 about 8,000 Anzacs fought their way off the narrow, stony beach. They moved upwards and inland through treacherous terrain and fierce concentrated fire from entrenched and well prepared Turkish positions. By evening they had gained some 2,000 metres and each side lost about 2,000 men. After 8 months of fighting the troops were withdrawn. Both the Allies and Turks had committed some 500,000 men each to the ill fated Dardanelles campaign. The Anzacs had lost 10,000 killed and 26,000 wounded.

Landing troops From the
River Clyde at V
Beach Gallipoli Peninsula by Charles Dixon RA
The landing from the River Clyde at V Beach, Gallipoli Peninsula
was begun early in the morning of 25th April. As the vessel made her way
to the spot where she was to be beached the British warships began to
shell the shore batteries. No sooner had she grounded than doors cut in
her sides were thrown open to let out the 2,000 men she was carrying.
Many were shot as they rushed down the platform onto the lighters, and
as those in the picket boats which the River Clyde had towed, jumped
into the shallow water, they came under a storm of shot and shell,
besides which they had to force their way through three lines of wire
entanglements and a maze of trenches. The greatest bravery was shown by
all and no less than 6 VC's were gained in the undertaking.
