That was after Anzac and Suvla had been evacuated, but I could hear the guns going hard at Cape Helles.

Rumours floated from one unit to another: “We were going to make a great attack on the 28th”--always a fixed date; “the Italians were landing troops to help the Australians at Anzac”--every possible absurdity was noised abroad.

Some way up the outer or north-western shore of the peninsula the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps effected a landing at Gaba Tepe, later called Anzac from the initials of the force.

Zeal carried the Anzacs nearly to the summit of the hills overlooking the Straits, and excess of it led to heavy losses in a Turkish counterattack; nor could the parties of British troops who got within a few hundred yards of Krithia on the 28th maintain their position, and the result of this first attempt was to give us possession of the extremity of the peninsula from a mile above Eski Hissarlik inside the Straits to three miles above Tekke on the Aegean, and of an exposed ridge of cliffs at Anzac.

This took the form of a landing at Suvla Bay, the extreme north-westerly point of the peninsula between Anzac and Bulair.
