Nearly 1 million soldiers fought in the trench warfare of Gallipoli. The allies recorded 55,000 killed in fighting with 10,000 missing and 21,000 who died from disease. Turkish casualties were estimated at around 250,000.

April 25 is celebrated every year, as Anzac Day and is the most significant commemorations of military casualties for these countries. Each year, thousands of people \u2013 many of them Australian and New Zealanders \u2013 travel to the battlefields in northwestern Turkey for Anzac Day to pay their respects to their ancestors who lost their lives on the battlefields of Gallipoli 99 years ago.<\/p>\n

The battle is considered a defining moment for Turkish history as well. The struggle laid the grounds for the Turkish War of Independence and the foundation of the Republic of Turkey eight years later under Atat\u00fcrk.<\/p>\n

The photos show the soldiers with weapons in their hands, bags and nylons on their shoulders, while going to one of the most intense battlefields at the time.
