Gallipoli Part Two: The Forging of The Anzacs

Fascinating People, Fascinating Places

The Anzac landings in Gallipoli quickly descend into chaos as Braund and other commanders try to lead their men to victory against overwhelming odds.

In this episode, I explore the story of the tragic tale of George Braund, Henry Edward White, and so many others. I interview two experts in the field: Brad Manera, and Ian Hodges, who provide fascinating insights into the battle, the legacy of Gallipoli, and how it helped forge the Anzac and Australian identities.

With thanks to:

Brad Manera, Senior Historian, and Curator of The Anzac Memorial

Ian Hodges, Historian from the Australian Department of Veteran's Affairs
