This is a video of some rare, original footage filmed from the war in Gallipoli in 1915. The first 48 seconds of the film clip is spent setting the scene of Gallipoli. It seems rather peaceful and unharmed. Then, we see bombs coming from the navy warships, presumably from the Allied force. About a minute and a bit into the video, we then notice soldiers on foot and on horse, some hiding from gunfire. There are guns are hauled over fences, men in trenches and a tent probably for treating the injured. The war hasn’t been glorified one bit. It’s a tough time for all.
