Cape Helles

Simultaneously with the landing at Anzac a landing was conducted on much the same lines at the most southerly part of the Peninsular at Cape Helles. And deeds of unprecedented valour and heroism were accomplished there just the same as at Gaba Tebe. The River Clyde was run ashore & men leaped through her broken sides straight into the midst of well directed Turkish machine gun & rifle fire. The warships assisted greatly with great fire at the various landings
committing fearful casualties amongst the terror stricken Turks.
