At dawn on 25 April, 1915, four mates land with the Anzac troops at Gallipoli and find themselves in a chaotic and heroic battle for the Turkish heights.

After a month of heavy fighting, the Anzac and Turkish soldiers meet in No Man's Land during a cease fire to bury their dead. Tolly risks his life by charging a machine gun nest to protect his brother.

Tolly is promoted ahead of his older brother, but disaster strikes when their platoon launches a surprise midnight attack.

Tolly recovers from his injuries in Cairo, and reluctantly returns to the front line at Gallipoli.

100,000 troops on five fronts in a series of attacks attempt to breakout of the stalemate with catastrophic results.

The aftermath of the failed breakout is felt and General Hamilton requests more troops while many of his officers dissent. Bartlett sends a letter to the British Prime Minister via the Australian reporter Murdoch.

The truth has reached London and Lord Kitchener arrives to tour the trenches. The Anzacs suffer further as winter sets in and finally orders to evacuate are received.
