You, the mothers, who
sent their sons to far away countries, wipe away your tears,
Your sons are now lying at our bosom and are in peace.
After having lost their lives on this land they have become our
sons as well…

We start with an early
morning drive to Gallipoli, where you will get information about
the naval battle that took place in the Dardanelles prior to the
army landings. Later on we continue to the Kabatepe War Museum,

extracts and letters.
We then visit Brighton Beach, the intended landing place and the
