Gallipoli campaign starts when Allied forces land on the Gallipoli peninsula in Ottoman Türkiye

Between 4:30am and 4:45am, the 3rd Australian Brigade — 9th (Queensland), 10th (South Australia), 11th (Western Australia) and 12th (Tasmania, with some South Australia and Western Australia) Battalions and the 3rd Field Ambulance - landed on Gallipoli around Ari Burnu point. The rest of the Anzacs came ashore throughout the day. By the evening, despite strong Turkish counter-attacks, the Anzacs held a narrow triangle of land roughly 2km long at its base on the coast and extending to just under 1km inland at its widest.

Charles Bean, Australia's Official Correspondent during the war who went on to become Australia's Official Historian of the war, said that all the evidence available indicated that the first Australian ashore at Gallipoli was Lieutenant Duncan Chapman of the 9th Battalion (Queensland), from Brisbane. Chapman survived the Gallipoli Campaign, but he was killed in action at Pozières in France on 8 August 1916.

At 4:30am troops of the British 29th Division began landing at beaches on Cape Helles at the tip of the Gallipoli peninsula while further north Australian troops landed at Ari Burny. French forces launched a feint against Kum Kale on the Dardanelles southern shore. By the end of the day, strong Turkish counter-attacks confined the British to two small pockets of land on the tip of the peninsula at Cape Helles and the Anzacs - the New Zealanders landed later in the day - to a strip of rugged country overlooking Ari Burnu. Both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Evacuation is suggested by Lord Kitchener, the British chief of staff

# data[].attributes.body
The evacuation was not sudden. It was slow and drawn out. The Turks could not be alerted of their retreat and everything of value had to be taken back or destroyed.

# data[].attributes.body
Evacuation from Gallipoli is completed.

Soldiers are either redeployed in other locations, or sent back to Egypt for training.
