Combining the casualties that happened in both the Dardanelles and Gallipoli Campaign casualties there was a total of about 205,000 people for the British Empire around 47,000 for the French. There were also approximately 250,000 Turkish casualties. Many Australian’s didn’t even make it to the coast as they were ambushed by the Turks on their way to the shore. The Turkey army and allies had set up the fight so that when the Australian and New Zealand people came, they would have to climb up the hill to get to the main battlefield. When the soldiers of Australia came to Gallipoli, they were shot at the shore on their way up.
