The First World War and the War of Independence caused deep wounds in the hearts of the Turkish nation. And his pain will never pass. War is difficult for all countries involved in war. I can accept that. Our soldiers fought for days without sleep, hungry and miserable. And he only ate grape compote and 1 slice of dry bread. (1 day, only 1 meal). Our people gave their soldiers their own bread and food. All these are recorded in the archives of our country. Our soldiers fought in old shoes and uniforms. Too many of our people died in wars. Since there are no men left to join the war in our country, the children went to fight. In those years, many people in Turkey did not graduate from high school. Because the students died in the war. If you have seen the Turkish graves, the gravestones say that they are 14 or 15 years old. Not only soldiers died in the war; women, children, doctors, teachers, engineers died.When the wars were over, there were very few educated people and young people in our country. Only old people and small children remained. And of course, almost all the cities of our country were destroyed in the wars. We built a new and modern country from the wreckage and ashes of a country. Our war of liberation does not only remind us of our dead soldiers. It tells how difficult and valuable it is to own a country. For this reason, we are in love with every inch of land and flag of our country and our father Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. 500,000 people died in the Dardanelles war. We have songs sung for the Dardanelles war. Our people still have tears while singing those songs. Çanakkale is not a city. It is the grave of 500,000 people. The tombs you visited are not real. Representation. It was difficult to reach the bodies of so many people. Representative graves were made. It's easy to find human bones or war bullets when you dig some soil in Gallipoli. 105 years have passed since the war. But it still hurts. Çanakkale city is the only city where you can feel how bad the war was in your heart. There are many graves. I guess you haven't seen all of them. I cry every time I go to Gallipoli. Peace at home, peace in the world. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
You constantly mention through your videos the generosity and graciousness of the Turkish people. How many countries would allow and keep such a memorial for so long to the fallen of an enemy.... my grandfather was there as an Australian, truly horrific until overtaken by the sheer incompetence and horror of the western front.
Me and my wife (She's Turkish) went to Gallipoli, a few years ago. Such a a beautiful place that hides the horrors that happened there. It was moving to see the thousands of graves on both sides but wonderful how the Turkish authorities keep it so beautiful. Whilst, we were there, I saw a memorial of two men from the Somerset Light Infantry, as I am originally from Somerset, I took a photo and later decided to research them. Amazingly, one of them was just 19 years old, drowned before even setting foot on dry land. What was remarkable for me though, was his address - it was right next door to my Grandparents home, long since passed away, in Sherborne Dorset. It really brought it home to me. Rest in peace the soldiers on both sides who died, soldiers who although at war had tremendous respect for each other.
Hi just subscribed. I lived in Gelibolu for seven months working on that new bridge. I operated the cranes on the towers on the Asian and European sides . About 320 metres high . It will be the longest span in the world of 2000 metres . We loved Turkey can’t wait to go back

@Genc Osman I am of the opinion that Chris and Marianne are very positive, very honest and very kind people. I do not think any negative remarks are necessary, because he mentioned clearly that he is NOT a historian and simply showed where the battle took place and the graves of the soldiers who lost their lives (may they all R.I.P). I do NOT take offense to the fact that he did not show any graves of the courageous Turkish soldiers (may they all R.I.P.). Because of his English background he looked at it from his perspective, so I respect that! Chris also showed at 10:06 the consoling words of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (R.I.P.) to the mothers of all fallen foreign soldiers and at 18:46 what Turkish and Anzac soldiers have experienced. Chris and Marianne I would like to thank you for covering Gelibolu/Canakkale and showing your wonderful experiences in Turkey to the people in Turkey and the rest of the world.
@@oguzylmaz6657 sana tane tane anlatmaya calisayim dilim döndügünce. Ingiliz isgaline karsi vatan müdafasinda yüzbinlerce sehit verdigimiz Türk milleti icin büyük önem tasiyan bir savas var adı Canakkale Savasi. Ingiliz bey "karaya cikan askerler agir bir saldiriyla karsilasti" diyor, ingiliz askerlerini kastederek. Buna vatan savunmasi derler! Vatan savunmasi!!! Sanki isgal girisimi yok, koy önünde poz vermis; buraya cikan ingiliz askerler agir saldiriyla karsilastilar... Işgal var işgal!!! işgale karsi ya ne olacakti!?! Bak sen, koya cikan ingilizler agir saldiriyla karsilasmis! Tarih bilgimiz yok diyorsan hic konusmazsın sorumlu davranip saygiyla susarsin!!! 15 yasinda evlatlarimizin, binlerce yetismis insanimizin vatan savunmasi uguruna öldügü ziyaret ettigi ülkenin vatandaslari icin önemli bir savas var ortada! Chris bu konuda duyarli ve sorumlu davranmamistir. Bu milli bir konudur ve yabancilar dikkat etmediklerinde tepki göstermek milli bilincin göstergesidir diye düsünüyorum. Yani tartisilan konu ceviri degil; bunu anlayabilmen icin ingilizce seviyenin ve milli bilincinin gelismesini dilerim.
The aspect that impacts me the most is how the Turkish feel as deeply for the British and ANZAC fallen as for their own. What an amazing memorial the entire peninsula is.
@@finitalacomedia3062 Still I don't think there are many nations in the world to erect memorials to the enemy who came to invade their land and killed hundreds of thousands of their own people. This only shows that we are aware those "enemy" soldiers were not there at their own will either and were just puppets of their politicians. This humane awareness and understanding of the Turkish nation towards the Battle of Gallipoli is truly something to be acknowledged and appreciated.
@@Snestorm564 yes an Imperial War that New Zealand got dragged into. NZ had the greatest loss of life among the allies per capita in that terrible war (well all wars are terrible). ANZAC Day, April 25, is a huge memorial day for us in NZ and many travel to Gallipoli on that day to pay respect to all of the fallen but we need to learn more here about the true loss for Turkey with all of those civilians as well. Thankyou for explaining.
Hi Aaron - we knew this would be hard to share and as we said - we could only share our experience of a day visiting and driving around the peninsula ... the bird sounds at Shrapnel valley were recorded there, it was so shockingly peaceful and serene. We are grateful to share our experience and show the true love and friendship of the Turkish people - but as we said we can not possibly cover the whole story and do not feel we are the right people for the job anyway - Kind regards M xx
Those what you call “boats” were heavy battleships, and the attacking fleet was the strongest armada at that time. Well, the Turks are only friendly and welcoming to guests, not to invading armies! Thank you for another amazing vlog. War is hell!
All war is tragic and we try to give you a brief glimpse into what happed. There was a lot we didn't see and so if we missed something you wanted us to show then we apologise. We know about the date error at 11:37 it should be 1915. We noticed after the video was live. Hope you enjoy this episode even if it was a bit of a sad day. If you want to see daily photos and stories then follow us on Instagram instagram.com/treadtheglobeofficial/ Thanks for watching Chris & Marianne xx
"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side now here in this country of ours... you, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land. They have become our sons as well." Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
Bu söz Atatürk'e ait bir söz değildir. Uydurma bir anıt yazısıdır. Atatürk neden düşman askerlerine bizim evlatlarımız desin akıl mantık işi mi? Adamlar bizi boğazlamaya geldi buraya.
What a tragic story of all the brave soldiers from both sides that sadly lost their life’s 😞. The verse from Ataturk was touching and lovely to read ❤️ How amazing under sad circumstances though was that model !!!
Thank you for showing us Gallipoli Anzac Cove. We here in Australia see the service they have there every April 25th with lots of Australians and New Zealanders who have made the pilgrimage there.
Hi Chris and Marianne, thanks for another fascinating video, you gave me an insite into a part of the world I hadn’t seen before. Your travels have shown turkey and it’s people to be extremely welcoming and warm. It’s given me an appetite to visit there one day so for that I thank you. Keep safe and keep the laughter coming. teşekkür ederim
Chris, you are absolutely correct when you talk about the people of Turkey being friendly and gracious. I have been fortunate to visit Turkey 11 times now and have been amazed at how wonderful most of these people really are. I have also been to Canakkale and Gallipoli however on foot with a rucksack. A wonderful city and a huge dedicated sight to the fallen soldiers. I understand the sacrifice of the the folks down-under and all of the British colonies at that time however your video does not mention fallen Canadians who are also immortalized at Gallipoli. They were mostly from Newfoundland and for the most are not often recognized in Canada either, which is why I had to go and pay respects. Thanks for the video well done. William fr Canada
Beautiful Turkey! Every inch of this land is worth a visit. I am from Bosnia and have visited many cities and towns in Turkey, but it is never enough. Every time you can discover something new and beautiful. I recommend traveling by car. Traveling by plane and staying only in resorts is not good for getting to know a country.
Yes - it a great way to see the best bits and we loved the Black Sea coast so much !! if you have not already - then please do visit ... it is amazing !!
"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. ... Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well." Ataturk
unfortunately, Mr. Churchill brought all the young men there and left them there alone!!! On the other hand, before came to fight in Gallipoli. he also did not give 2 battleships after the built-in UK for Turkish which was already paid by Ottoman taxpayers!! Such a sad thing we never get a lesson from past, still history repeating itself!! You are a great couple thank you for this video !!
The war had dramatic results: The UK stepped down as a world power. The Russian Empire collapsed. The Turkish Republic has emerged from collapsing Ottoman Empire.
A few things to note. You said that if Anzacs landed a bit north of Anzac cove, they would have a better luck. Well, it is not correct. Anzacs did not try to land at the Anzac cove only! After their failed attempts at Anzac Cove, they also initiated a major landing offensive north of Anzac Cove, called Suvla bay. Overall, there were three major battle fronts during land portion of Canakkale (Gallipoli) war: - Seddulbahir (Cape Helles) southernmost point of Gallipoli peninsula, where British landed - Ari Burnu (Anzac Cove) where Anzacs landed - Anafartalar (Suvla bay area) where Anzacs and British landed None of these major offensive initiatives were successful. With the heroic efforts of Turkish soldiers and the leadership provided by Ataturk, Turks managed to repulse back all allied attempts. For the note, Ataturk played a very prominent role and was a major factor at both Ari Burnu (Anzac Cove) and Anafartalar (Suvla bay) battles. And about the impact of Gallipoli campaign. Perhaps you might be forgiven due to your lack of knowledge when saying that these battles did not have any significant impact, but that is not correct. - Around 500,000 thousand soldiers has lost their lives (almost equally shared as 250,000 to 240,000 between allied forces and ottoman Turkish soldiers) - Gallipoli was the scene where Ataturk raised as a hero of the Turkish nation and later enabled him to rally the Turkish nation and establish a whole new country of modern Turkey (when the Ottoman empire collapsed right after WWI) - The government of George Llyod in England had to resign - Due to the failure of allies at Gallipoli, the WWI war has been prolonged by up to two years according to some historians - British and French was unable to send help to Russians which caused the increasing of suffering of Russian people during WWI and it was one of the major contributing factors to the October 1917 revolution in Russia - British empire suffered their first defeat and that tarnished their image of invincibility - That became an examples to many nations under British yoke and gave them hope for their own independence. Gallipoli (Canakkale) has taken its place in the minds and hearts of all Turks and will continue to play its role to remind us the value of our independence. We feel utter respect for and proud of all those who were martyred at Gallipoli and we will remember them until the last days of our lives. From a poem written for Gallipoli: Stop o passer by! This land you stepped on unknowingly is the place where thousands of unshrouded martys sleep Lean and listen to this silent place which is where thousands of homelands's hearts beat
As we said ... we could not possibly cover the whole peninsular in one day - and would never claim to know anything historical, just share the day that we had, and we hope that if people are interested in this subject they inform themselves by visiting, reading and learning from people who claim to know ... as we said twice in the video ... we do not ! - But we showed our experience and always will do - kind regards Marianne - thank you for your message
Winston Churchill thought that the unbeatable armada in his hand could defeat the Turks and even had the intention of drinking his famous 5 o'clock tea in Istanbul. And he said the sentences, the Turks who saw the cannons of our ships grease the floors. But when he saw the steel-like belief of the Turk exactly 8 months later, he realized that he made a fatal mistake. Chris..
Thank you for sharing the video.I means a lot to me.My grandfather's father (İsmail Çavuş) was a soldier and died in Gallipoli during the war.As Atatürk wrote, 'they have become our sons ,aswell' Ataturk,he was a great soldier,great leader. He died on 10.11.1938,that's why there are lot's of flags every where in your previous video and the this one. He still lives in our hearth. I always cry, when I read the letter of Ataturk and hear songs written after the war, I can not stop myself. We suffered from war a lot, that's why, for world war 2, in that time president was İnönü, he did anything to not involved with the war. I wish peace and love to everyone.
A deeply moving video, thanks. And, of course, you were right to say that there is much more to be contemplated and understood. I’m sure we all respect that you were there to experience the atmosphere and show us some of the monuments so that we can either visit ourselves or research further, according to how much depth we want to explore. Thank you so much.
Unless a nation's life faces peril, war is murder. -Atatürk There is someone lost at Çanakkale in almost every single Turkish family. Those monuments are there to teach all of us to never having to write another story of Gallipoli again.
You're doing a fantastic job at presenting Turkey in a positive light. Having previously visited there and knowing others who've been there. It was a place I'd planned to avoid in future. Now I've reconsidered. Turkey looks beautiful and the people there seem lovely. They also have snakes which makes it even better. Great video again.
I so greatly appreciated this video, because RUclipsrs often skip difficult topics such as war memorials. However it's important to not only remember those we lost, but to show the humanity of the people on the other side of the war. What you are doing is invaluable, thank you!
Thank you for another great Video ❤️❤️ It is always heartbreaking to see all these graves and monuments 😔 I missed the Mehmetçik monument to be honest. Hundreds of thousands of Turkish soldiers are lying there under the ground😔 In order to defend the homeland, Turkey has lost more than half of it's young people in Gelibolu/Çanakkale. Not only men, also women and children died in a large number there. If we hadn't defended ourselves in Çanakkale and repulsed the invasion/Occupation attempt, we wouldn't be free and we wouldn't have an independent homeland now. The meaning of Çanakkale is equivalent to existence for us Turks. Therefore we were hoping to see the Turkish memorial as well
Hi Elanur - thank you for your comment and we knew that this would be a hard video to make in such a short time - but agreed it is heartbreaking and we are pleased we were able to make a video of our experience and memories of this day and hope it inspires others to visit. Marianne
Thank you so much for this post. My husbands grandfather was in the British Navy at this battle, he was shipwrecked but lucky enough to be picked up by another ship. He eventually ended up in a mental facility in St Helens, Lancs. Suffering from shell shock.
Really enjoyed your tour of the Gallipoli Musem & War grave memorials , have read so much about the battle and sang Waltzing Matilda many times at folk clubs I frequent. your tour gave another perspective, thanks.
*Hiiiiii... Trudy & Chris ... Thx very much for another enlightening video ... Seems things have changed since I have been there in 1992 > lot more organised and maintained ... A new visitors centre was built reflecting the modern view of museums better than the small one under that giant memorial called ABIDE built in 1950s ... I would suggest you watch the 1981 movie Gallipoli I think making of it is on RUclips quite good script & camera work as well ... It shows the original Anzac Cove before the road was built 40 years ago... Then I hired a local taxi and he guided me through the important locations and brought me back to the town for a bus to Istanbul ... But I see that you are going back to Canakkale on the mainland I guess you dont want to miss Troy since you come thus far ... Good Luck - will be watching your next journey for sure ...*
Thanks Vista - it was always going to be tricky to film and share - we are just travel bloggers not historically schooled and we have 20 - 30 minutes to share what we experienced ... but the bird sounds at Shrapnel Valley was the actual sounds there ... very beautiful and moving - M
Thank you for sharing your day at that sacred place. I know, it must have been tough. I was there a few years ago. It touches your heart and stays with you.
Hello Marianne and Chris! İts Çanakkale 1915 Bridge and with a main span of 2,023 m (6,637 ft), the bridge will surpass the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge in Japan by 32 m (105 ft) to become the longest suspension bridge in the world. Some symbolic figures are associated with the bridge. The name "1915" and the groundbreaking date "March 18" are related to the Turkish Naval Victory on March 18, 1915 during the naval operations in the Gallipoli Campaign. The length of the bridge's main span with "2,023" meters refer to the centennial of the Turkish Republic in 2023.
Hello Marianne & Chris :) ... I hope you are both well... a very poignant episode this time, and a nice start in the museum. quite touching looking at all the pictures, and getting a feel what it must of been like in the war times. what nice weather too on your visit to the cemetery, and as you said Marianne, its difficult to picture these sad times then.What stunning views too, around the Gallipoli peninsula. The model you walked through before your ferry journey was fascinating and interesting. Cool ferry journey, and getting off the ferry !!! Thank you again for your really interesting episode. Looking forward to the next installment. Enjoy your visit, and take care lovely people .. Best wishes D & A xx
Thanks both - it was a tough video, and we know that we could not possible show, tell or share all of this historical tragedy .... but we hope as travel bloggers that we have inspired people to come here themselves. kind regards M
Well guys that was an awesome Vlog this time, I really enjoyed the Info about the AnZac conflict. Also the scenery once again was gorgeous, it's great to come along with you on your travels. We have something to look forward to in this time of uncertainty. xx
Hi ABC - we were only there for one day in total and have now arrived in Akcay - But Chris is making the video of Troya which we passed through - but we will check it out
This is one of my locations that I am to visit in the near future. The Helles memorial would be emotionally tough for me as my 2 great great uncles are remembered there . John and Edward Gouldthorpe
I HATE WAR. But if enemy comes our gates we have to defend ourselfs. We have to protect inicent people we have to protect our lands. Because every Turk born as a soldier. A great, helpfull, bigheart soldier. Like Mustafa Kemal Atatürk 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷💕💕💕 "Peace at Home peace at the world 💕💕💕🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
Hi Cem, we only spent one day there and saw as much as we could, time just got the better of us, otherwise we would have seen more. The video was about our personal experience of that day. We encourage people to visit and experience the area for themselves.
Neredeye 1 yıldır ülkemizi geziyorlar. Karşılaştıkları ilgiden, ülke insanımızın samimiyetinden ve içtenliğinden son derece memnunlar. Ancak malesef tarafsız olmayı başaramadılar. Türk tarafından bahsetmediler. Marianne and Chris, this vlog is a disappointment for me. Unfortunately You could not be impartial.

@@TREADtheglobe The rectangular monument with four columns is accepted as main important structure, any ship passing strait would pass saluting it. it is victory monument called. Without that one we generally dont feel those places were visited. Point of the War England was keen on more resources to support her industry. Also they were trying to make sure it is understood that they are strong and they are the only thing important. Through series of Wars we illustrated England that tears of innocent nations could not help her, and she can be defeated. Finally they accepted defeat with Laussaune and Montreux agreements with Clear words.
World was in a race to share resources of innocent nations, öne or other one was going to take those resources. Failure would mean a slavery to the other Side. Failure would mean same for us as well. We thankfully managed to defend our country. There were railroad debates and all. England wanted the Rail road pass from yafa harbour, we said pas from jarusalem so people could use. Money vs human based optimization.
Very sbering first part of the video but very good never the less. Great information. Hope you Canakale park up was OK. I wonder if the girl caught the chicken. So the answer to the eternal question " Why did the chicken cross the road" "Because a little girl was chasing it" 😂 so now we know!. You are on the side of Turkey now we are familiar with from when we had our house there. Take care 💙❤️👍
Çanakkale is a very impressive place. When we built our caravan ourselves, this was the first place we wanted to go. We went at the end of June. We were in the same place at the end of June, Bumerang. But It was closed and there was nobody. We love to watch you... Have a good trip :)
Very moving video, thankyou., all the war cemeteries seem to be beautifully kept. We were in Thailand a few years ago on Anzac Day and it was also very moving to see the wreaths left in honour.
There is currently a bridge construction. It's called the 1915 Bridge. However, it will open on 18 March 2022 in honor of the day we won the war on 18 March 1915. With love..
I can believe that such a peaceful country has such a tragic history. All my respects goes to the people who lost their lives fighting for the country.
Hi, we have been subscribed to your channel for a few months now. We are retiring age and have travelled a lot in Australia . We watch your videos with our youngest daughter who is 19 , she has a disability and she just cracks up with “oh your still there” . She missed it on this video. Stay safe and thanks for showing us a world we will never get to.
Hi Graeme - thank you for your message - please let your daughter know that it is back !! LOL - thank you for your message 🙌🌺 ps when we get to Australia you will have to give us some tips !! Marianne
Great stuff - we can never show the full experience so we are glad to encourage everyone to visit it for themselves .. it certainly is a memorable place !!
Hi Chris & marianne Really enjoyed your watching your video of Gallipoli Just wanted to share with you The statue of a Turkish soldier carrying a wounded Allied soldier from no man's land to Australian trenches during the Battle
Thank you - yes there is so much humility and care even during the worst time in battle here - and we do hope we have inspired people to come to Turkey and visit to see for themselves - Marianne
Very nice video. I fell in love with Gelibolu and Canakkale when I was there couple of years ago. And I miss your "oh you're still there" -part at the end of the video. 😉
There is a very simple reason why the troops landing in Anzac cove were attacked heavily: they attacked the territory of another country. I am proud of my ancestors that they made a very strong defense in Gallipoli. Everyone defends their own land. If there is another big war today, I am ready to fight. On the other hand, it's a pretty dramatic situation. Thousands of young people died in their twenties on both sides. This is a very sad situation. The military profession in Turkey is very difficult nowadays. Even if the salary is good, the conditions are quite tough ...
Thanks for the video was great to see some of the terrain there, had quite a few relatives that fought there one that landed on the 25th was 15 years old he enlisted with 3 mates they lied about the age to join he was the only one of them that survived Gallipoli. He was with the 13th Australian battalion
if you have a chance, stop by Bolayır Town, Drive to Çimpe Castle (first land of Ottoman in Europe) When the weather clear you will see the Marmara Sea and Egeaan sea at the Same Time.. good view
Another excelleny and informative video recalling a very sad time during WW1. The scenery around this area is beautiful. Missed your normal sign off .. oh your still there
Fully sharing the comments of Ms.Basak Ozkara. Beside that Chris, you were supposed be becareful on your statements like you said "shame they landed Anzak difficult terrain than smoth landscape area just beside Anzak ... "(similiar meaning)
Fantastic job of showing those war memorials, you did that justice. So emotional, those guys really do feel so close to us, hope we are doing them proud, and for what they did, people like you travelling the world freely show they did have some justice in giving what they gave.
Beautiful Gallipoli, wonderful memorial to those who fought and lost their lives - beautifully maintained by the Turks - as Mustafa Kemal Ataturk says : your sons are now lying in our bosom. They are in peace and will lie here in peace. That was a very important war for the Turks as it started Ataturk’s mission for our independence and freedom. A very bad move by Churchill to go to the Dardanelles.
It is always sad when you visit these memorial sites. I could feel your remorse for the fallen soldiers on both sides of the conflict it is sad also it is good that we honour them as we do for there courage in what they had to face. As long as we never for get and try to live in peace with one another. Watching your vlogs I feel as ordinary people we can do, the love that you have been shown on this fantastic adventure from people of all nationalities we do love each other as human beings. Long may it continue God willing. Thanks for sharing this with us. 👍👍
Hi Chris and Marrianne great video we are hoping to visit there one day in the future .. your videos are great inspiration for visiting all these wonderful places in Turkey. I am English and my parter Em rulkah is fromTurkey! His family is in Marmaris andDenizli ! Looking forward to more Videos! Clare andEm from Somerset PS you missed a blooper .. date was 1915 not 2015😀👍
Hi Paulo we only spent one day there and saw as much as we could, time just got the better of us, otherwise we would. have seen more. We encourage people to visit and experience the area for themselves.
Hello, time 3:34 I am very sure the Turkish soldier lift a Anzak soldier to take him to first Aid Emergency tent but 'The Artist reflected the face different wrong mimic', this seems showing off his friends that he did somehing great!!! it is correct or just misconceptions accourding angle of the camera?
The First World War and the War of Independence caused deep wounds in the hearts of the Turkish nation. And his pain will never pass. War is difficult for all countries involved in war. I can accept that. Our soldiers fought for days without sleep, hungry and miserable. And he only ate grape compote and 1 slice of dry bread. (1 day, only 1 meal). Our people gave their soldiers their own bread and food. All these are recorded in the archives of our country. Our soldiers fought in old shoes and uniforms. Too many of our people died in wars. Since there are no men left to join the war in our country, the children went to fight. In those years, many people in Turkey did not graduate from high school. Because the students died in the war. If you have seen the Turkish graves, the gravestones say that they are 14 or 15 years old. Not only soldiers died in the war; women, children, doctors, teachers, engineers died.When the wars were over, there were very few educated people and young people in our country. Only old people and small children remained. And of course, almost all the cities of our country were destroyed in the wars. We built a new and modern country from the wreckage and ashes of a country. Our war of liberation does not only remind us of our dead soldiers. It tells how difficult and valuable it is to own a country. For this reason, we are in love with every inch of land and flag of our country and our father Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. 500,000 people died in the Dardanelles war. We have songs sung for the Dardanelles war. Our people still have tears while singing those songs.
Çanakkale is not a city. It is the grave of 500,000 people. The tombs you visited are not real. Representation. It was difficult to reach the bodies of so many people. Representative graves were made. It's easy to find human bones or war bullets when you dig some soil in Gallipoli. 105 years have passed since the war. But it still hurts.
Çanakkale city is the only city where you can feel how bad the war was in your heart. There are many graves. I guess you haven't seen all of them. I cry every time I go to Gallipoli.
Peace at home, peace in the world.
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
Eline saglik 💕🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

You constantly mention through your videos the generosity and graciousness of the Turkish people. How many countries would allow and keep such a memorial for so long to the fallen of an enemy.... my grandfather was there as an Australian, truly horrific until overtaken by the sheer incompetence and horror of the western front.
Me and my wife (She's Turkish) went to Gallipoli, a few years ago. Such a a beautiful place that hides the horrors that happened there.
It was moving to see the thousands of graves on both sides but wonderful how the Turkish authorities keep it so beautiful.
Whilst, we were there, I saw a memorial of two men from the Somerset Light Infantry, as I am originally from Somerset, I took a photo and later decided to research them. Amazingly, one of them was just 19 years old, drowned before even setting foot on dry land. What was remarkable for me though, was his address - it was right next door to my Grandparents home, long since passed away, in Sherborne Dorset.
It really brought it home to me. Rest in peace the soldiers on both sides who died, soldiers who although at war had tremendous respect for each other.
Interesting! Thank you for sharing! 👍
Hi just subscribed. I lived in Gelibolu for seven months working on that new bridge. I operated the cranes on the towers on the Asian and European sides . About 320 metres high . It will be the longest span in the world of 2000 metres . We loved Turkey can’t wait to go back
Wow - what a job !!! Thanks for sharing that Dave, fascinating structure 🎄🌺👍
11:54 they were also faced with heavy “defence” not attacking. We were defending our country.

@Genc Osman I am of the opinion that Chris and Marianne are very positive, very honest and very kind people. I do not think any negative remarks are necessary, because he mentioned clearly that he is NOT a historian and simply showed where the battle took place and the graves of the soldiers who lost their lives (may they all R.I.P). I do NOT take offense to the fact that he did not show any graves of the courageous Turkish soldiers (may they all R.I.P.). Because of his English background he looked at it from his perspective, so I respect that! Chris also showed at 10:06 the consoling words of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (R.I.P.) to the mothers of all fallen foreign soldiers and at 18:46 what Turkish and Anzac soldiers have experienced. Chris and Marianne I would like to thank you for covering Gelibolu/Canakkale and showing your wonderful experiences in Turkey to the people in Turkey and the rest of the world.

Ingiliz isgaline karsi vatan müdafasinda yüzbinlerce sehit verdigimiz Türk milleti icin büyük önem tasiyan bir savas var adı Canakkale Savasi. Ingiliz bey "karaya cikan askerler agir bir saldiriyla karsilasti" diyor, ingiliz askerlerini kastederek.
Buna vatan savunmasi derler! Vatan savunmasi!!! Sanki isgal girisimi yok, koy önünde poz vermis; buraya cikan ingiliz askerler agir saldiriyla karsilastilar... Işgal var işgal!!! işgale karsi ya ne olacakti!?! Bak sen, koya cikan ingilizler agir saldiriyla karsilasmis!

Chris bu konuda duyarli ve sorumlu davranmamistir.
Bu milli bir konudur ve yabancilar dikkat etmediklerinde tepki göstermek milli bilincin göstergesidir diye düsünüyorum. Yani tartisilan konu ceviri degil; bunu anlayabilmen icin ingilizce seviyenin ve milli bilincinin gelismesini dilerim.
The aspect that impacts me the most is how the Turkish feel as deeply for the British and ANZAC fallen as for their own. What an amazing memorial the entire peninsula is.
It's war ,there is no winning there is only loss and both sides had so many loss. We share it thats all.
@@finitalacomedia3062 Still I don't think there are many nations in the world to erect memorials to the enemy who came to invade their land and killed hundreds of thousands of their own people. This only shows that we are aware those "enemy" soldiers were not there at their own will either and were just puppets of their politicians. This humane awareness and understanding of the Turkish nation towards the Battle of Gallipoli is truly something to be acknowledged and appreciated.
@@Snestorm564 yes an Imperial War that New Zealand got dragged into. NZ had the greatest loss of life among the allies per capita in that terrible war (well all wars are terrible). ANZAC Day, April 25, is a huge memorial day for us in NZ and many travel to Gallipoli on that day to pay respect to all of the fallen but we need to learn more here about the true loss for Turkey with all of those civilians as well. Thankyou for explaining.
Hi Aaron - we knew this would be hard to share and as we said - we could only share our experience of a day visiting and driving around the peninsula ... the bird sounds at Shrapnel valley were recorded there, it was so shockingly peaceful and serene. We are grateful to share our experience and show the true love and friendship of the Turkish people - but as we said we can not possibly cover the whole story and do not feel we are the right people for the job anyway - Kind regards M xx
Those what you call “boats” were heavy battleships, and the attacking fleet was the strongest armada at that time. Well, the Turks are only friendly and welcoming to guests, not to invading armies! Thank you for another amazing vlog. War is hell!
All war is tragic and we try to give you a brief glimpse into what happed. There was a lot we didn't see and so if we missed something you wanted us to show then we apologise. We know about the date error at 11:37 it should be 1915. We noticed after the video was live. Hope you enjoy this episode even if it was a bit of a sad day. If you want to see daily photos and stories then follow us on Instagram instagram.com/treadtheglobeofficial/

Hey Chris, İngilizler ülkemize ne yapmaya gelmiş?
"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side now here in this country of ours... you, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land. They have become our sons as well."
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
Thank you for sharing
Beautiful words! Well said Mr Ataturk!
Bu söz Atatürk'e ait bir söz değildir. Uydurma bir anıt yazısıdır. Atatürk neden düşman askerlerine bizim evlatlarımız desin akıl mantık işi mi? Adamlar bizi boğazlamaya geldi buraya.
What a tragic story of all the brave soldiers from both sides that sadly lost their life’s 😞. The verse from Ataturk was touching and lovely to read ❤️
How amazing under sad circumstances though was that model !!!
Absolutely - and the model was great too 🙏🌿
Thank you for showing us Gallipoli Anzac Cove. We here in Australia see the service they have there every April 25th with lots of Australians and New Zealanders who have made the pilgrimage there.
Russell Crowe's film " The Water Diviner" is about the War...and those soldier who died on both side were mostly children, aged 14-15..
Yes I watched that movie ...sorry but not informative or have good script as 1981 movie Gallipoli which had better research as well .
Rest In Peace For your lost in Gallipoli
Hi Chris and Marianne, thanks for another fascinating video, you gave me an insite into a part of the world I hadn’t seen before. Your travels have shown turkey and it’s people to be extremely welcoming and warm. It’s given me an appetite to visit there one day so for that I thank you. Keep safe and keep the laughter coming.
teşekkür ederim
Wonderful! You should deffo come and experience Turkey too - we are only showing a small part as we travel 💐
Chris, you are absolutely correct when you talk about the people of Turkey being friendly and gracious. I have been fortunate to visit Turkey 11 times now and have been amazed at how wonderful most of these people really are. I have also been to Canakkale and Gallipoli however on foot with a rucksack. A wonderful city and a huge dedicated sight to the fallen soldiers. I understand the sacrifice of the the folks down-under and all of the British colonies at that time however your video does not mention fallen Canadians who are also immortalized at Gallipoli. They were mostly from Newfoundland and for the most are not often recognized in Canada either, which is why I had to go and pay respects. Thanks for the video well done.
William fr Canada
Beautiful Turkey! Every inch of this land is worth a visit. I am from Bosnia and have visited many cities and towns in Turkey, but it is never enough. Every time you can discover something new and beautiful. I recommend traveling by car. Traveling by plane and staying only in resorts is not good for getting to know a country.
Yes - it a great way to see the best bits and we loved the Black Sea coast so much !! if you have not already - then please do visit ... it is amazing !!
The trenches were so close, they would throw packets of cigarettes to each other at night.
"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. ... Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well."
Ataturk
unfortunately, Mr. Churchill brought all the young men there and left them there alone!!! On the other hand, before came to fight in Gallipoli. he also did not give 2 battleships after the built-in UK for Turkish which was already paid by Ottoman taxpayers!! Such a sad thing we never get a lesson from past, still history repeating itself!! You are a great couple thank you for this video !!
I am Sorry for your lost in Gallipoli
10:07 The Great Leader Atatürk. He is 'Our Great Grand Father'. (R. I. P)🤲 Please visit him in Ankara. If you're going to there...
The war had dramatic results: The UK stepped down as a world power. The Russian Empire collapsed. The Turkish Republic has emerged from collapsing Ottoman Empire.
A few things to note.
You said that if Anzacs landed a bit north of Anzac cove, they would have a better luck.
Well, it is not correct.
Anzacs did not try to land at the Anzac cove only!
After their failed attempts at Anzac Cove, they also initiated a major landing offensive north of Anzac Cove, called Suvla bay.
Overall, there were three major battle fronts during land portion of Canakkale (Gallipoli) war:
- Seddulbahir (Cape Helles) southernmost point of Gallipoli peninsula, where British landed
- Ari Burnu (Anzac Cove) where Anzacs landed
- Anafartalar (Suvla bay area) where Anzacs and British landed
None of these major offensive initiatives were successful.
With the heroic efforts of Turkish soldiers and the leadership provided by Ataturk, Turks managed to repulse back all allied attempts.
For the note, Ataturk played a very prominent role and was a major factor at both Ari Burnu (Anzac Cove) and Anafartalar (Suvla bay) battles.
And about the impact of Gallipoli campaign. Perhaps you might be forgiven due to your lack of knowledge when saying that these battles did not have any significant impact, but that is not correct.
- Around 500,000 thousand soldiers has lost their lives (almost equally shared as 250,000 to 240,000 between allied forces and ottoman Turkish soldiers)
- Gallipoli was the scene where Ataturk raised as a hero of the Turkish nation and later enabled him to rally the Turkish nation and establish a whole new country of modern Turkey (when the Ottoman empire collapsed right after WWI)
- The government of George Llyod in England had to resign
- Due to the failure of allies at Gallipoli, the WWI war has been prolonged by up to two years according to some historians
- British and French was unable to send help to Russians which caused the increasing of suffering of Russian people during WWI and
it was one of the major contributing factors to the October 1917 revolution in Russia
- British empire suffered their first defeat and that tarnished their image of invincibility
- That became an examples to many nations under British yoke and gave them hope for their own independence.
Gallipoli (Canakkale) has taken its place in the minds and hearts of all Turks and will continue to play its role to remind us the value of our independence. We feel utter respect for and proud of all those who were martyred at Gallipoli and we will remember them until the last days of our lives.
From a poem written for Gallipoli:
Stop o passer by!
This land you stepped on unknowingly
is the place where thousands of unshrouded martys sleep
Lean and listen to this silent place
which is where thousands of homelands's hearts beat
As we said ... we could not possibly cover the whole peninsular in one day - and would never claim to know anything historical, just share the day that we had, and we hope that if people are interested in this subject they inform themselves by visiting, reading and learning from people who claim to know ... as we said twice in the video ... we do not ! - But we showed our experience and always will do - kind regards Marianne - thank you for your message
Winston Churchill thought that the unbeatable armada in his hand could defeat the Turks and even had the intention of drinking his famous 5 o'clock tea in Istanbul. And he said the sentences, the Turks who saw the cannons of our ships grease the floors. But when he saw the steel-like belief of the Turk exactly 8 months later, he realized that he made a fatal mistake. Chris..
Thank you for sharing the video.I means a lot to me.My grandfather's father (İsmail Çavuş) was a soldier and died in Gallipoli during the war.As Atatürk wrote, 'they have become our sons ,aswell' Ataturk,he was a great soldier,great leader. He died on 10.11.1938,that's why there are lot's of flags every where in your previous video and the this one. He still lives in our hearth.
I always cry, when I read the letter of Ataturk and hear songs written after the war, I can not stop myself. We suffered from war a lot, that's why, for world war 2, in that time president was İnönü, he did anything to not involved with the war.
I wish peace and love to everyone.
A deeply moving video, thanks. And, of course, you were right to say that there is much more to be contemplated and understood. I’m sure we all respect that you were there to experience the atmosphere and show us some of the monuments so that we can either visit ourselves or research further, according to how much depth we want to explore. Thank you so much.
Well said! Thank you Graham for understanding ... it was never going to be easy but sharing our experience and memories ... kind regards Marianne
Unless a nation's life faces peril, war is murder. -Atatürk There is someone lost at Çanakkale in almost every single Turkish family. Those monuments are there to teach all of us to never having to write another story of Gallipoli again.
You're doing a fantastic job at presenting Turkey in a positive light.
Having previously visited there and knowing others who've been there. It was a place I'd planned to avoid in future.
Now I've reconsidered. Turkey looks beautiful and the people there seem lovely. They also have snakes which makes it even better. Great video again.
Yes please do come here ... we have loved our time here and Turkey is full of different vistas and beautiful people - best wishes Marianne
Beautifully maintained ANZAK memorials by the looks of it.
another great video, a great insight to what happened all those years ago.that was funny when getting off the ferry.
Glad you enjoyed it - I am certainly becoming a more proficient driver for sure !!
21:40 😮 😲!!. 😃 😄 😁 😆 😅!!. Marianne is funny:-)) have a nice trip, lovely people!.
I so greatly appreciated this video, because RUclipsrs often skip difficult topics such as war memorials. However it's important to not only remember those we lost, but to show the humanity of the people on the other side of the war. What you are doing is invaluable, thank you!
Thank you for another great Video ❤️❤️
It is always heartbreaking to see all these graves and monuments 😔
I missed the Mehmetçik monument to be honest. Hundreds of thousands of Turkish soldiers are lying there under the ground😔
In order to defend the homeland, Turkey has lost more than half of it's young people in Gelibolu/Çanakkale. Not only men, also women and children died in a large number there. If we hadn't defended ourselves in Çanakkale and repulsed the invasion/Occupation attempt, we wouldn't be free and we wouldn't have an independent homeland now. The meaning of Çanakkale is equivalent to existence for us Turks. Therefore we were hoping to see the Turkish memorial as well
Hi Elanur - thank you for your comment and we knew that this would be a hard video to make in such a short time - but agreed it is heartbreaking and we are pleased we were able to make a video of our experience and memories of this day and hope it inspires others to visit. Marianne
Thank you so much for this post. My husbands grandfather was in the British Navy at this battle, he was shipwrecked but lucky enough to be picked up by another ship. He eventually ended up in a mental facility in St Helens, Lancs. Suffering from shell shock.
ANZAC Coves is a very special place to us Aussies & the Kiwis, thank you for showing it in a respectful manner
They have now become our sons as well ! peace at home peace in the world ; good luck and take care bro...
Really enjoyed your tour of the Gallipoli Musem & War grave memorials , have read so much about the battle and sang Waltzing Matilda many times at folk clubs I frequent. your tour gave another perspective, thanks.
Whenever I visit here I sense a great deal of sadness. It's peaceful but there's something I can't put my finger on.
*Hiiiiii... Trudy & Chris ... Thx very much for another enlightening video ... Seems things have changed since I have been there in 1992 > lot more organised and maintained ... A new visitors centre was built reflecting the modern view of museums better than the small one under that giant memorial called ABIDE built in 1950s ... I would suggest you watch the 1981 movie Gallipoli I think making of it is on RUclips quite good script & camera work as well ... It shows the original Anzac Cove before the road was built 40 years ago... Then I hired a local taxi and he guided me through the important locations and brought me back to the town for a bus to Istanbul ... But I see that you are going back to Canakkale on the mainland I guess you dont want to miss Troy since you come thus far ... Good Luck - will be watching your next journey for sure ...*
Thanks Vista - it was always going to be tricky to film and share - we are just travel bloggers not historically schooled and we have 20 - 30 minutes to share what we experienced ... but the bird sounds at Shrapnel Valley was the actual sounds there ... very beautiful and moving - M

Turks always do a nice burial for their enemies for respect. There is a famous Turkish pre-war saying: “Where are we going to bury all of these men”
Thank you for sharing your day at that sacred place. I know, it must have been tough. I was there a few years ago. It touches your heart and stays with you.
Yes it was indeed
Chris, the bridge is under construction now.Wll be opened in a few years I hope.
Somber !!!!! need i say more. tastefully done guys, you left me in a sedate mood. . R.I.P to all who there.
Thank you Orhan ... kind regards Marianne
With a length of 2023 meters, the longest hanging bridge in the world is being built.
Hello Marianne and Chris! İts Çanakkale 1915 Bridge and with a main span of 2,023 m (6,637 ft), the bridge will surpass the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge in Japan by 32 m (105 ft) to become the longest suspension bridge in the world. Some symbolic figures are associated with the bridge. The name "1915" and the groundbreaking date "March 18" are related to the Turkish Naval Victory on March 18, 1915 during the naval operations in the Gallipoli Campaign. The length of the bridge's main span with "2,023" meters refer to the centennial of the Turkish Republic in 2023.

Hello Marianne & Chris :) ... I hope you are both well... a very poignant episode this time, and a nice start in the museum. quite touching looking at all the pictures, and getting a feel what it must of been like in the war times. what nice weather too on your visit to the cemetery, and as you said Marianne, its difficult to picture these sad times then.What stunning views too, around the Gallipoli peninsula. The model you walked through before your ferry journey was fascinating and interesting. Cool ferry journey, and getting off the ferry !!! Thank you again for your really interesting episode. Looking forward to the next installment. Enjoy your visit, and take care lovely people .. Best wishes D & A xx
Thanks both - it was a tough video, and we know that we could not possible show, tell or share all of this historical tragedy .... but we hope as travel bloggers that we have inspired people to come here themselves. kind regards M
Beautiful scenery as you drive around showing us wonderful areas of Turkey we haven't seen before. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Truly serene and touching. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the informative video .... Gallipoli was a bloodbath and so unnessessary ... well done both!
I can feel what MA feel, it´s not easy to see all the names on the stones :( I see it on his face :( You are so great humans ♥♥♥
Well guys that was an awesome Vlog this time, I really enjoyed the Info about the AnZac conflict. Also the scenery once again was gorgeous, it's great to come along with you on your travels. We have something to look forward to in this time of uncertainty. xx
Thanks Dave 👍
Don't worry Chris...we're still here...lol
He forgot this time :D
Left us hanging!.....
He didn't think it was appropiate .....
Wow extremely powerful words from Anzak chocked me and the Mrs up , fabulous video
Thank you for sharing Atatürk's speach in the video ❤️🇹🇷
I recommend you to watch tv mini series called gallipoli while you are still there.
Hi ABC - we were only there for one day in total and have now arrived in Akcay - But Chris is making the video of Troya which we passed through - but we will check it out
Thanks for the Turkish history lessons! Very nice channel.
well done guys so wrapped you guys visited here
Excellent vlog!!
Merhaba Marianne and Chris. I wish you a nice Sunday and many more reports about beautiful Turkey. Fred / NL

This is one of my locations that I am to visit in the near future. The Helles memorial would be emotionally tough for me as my 2 great great uncles are remembered there . John and Edward Gouldthorpe

Why we have not seen the Çanakkale Monument? The masterpiece of the peninsula?
Hi Cem, we only spent one day there and saw as much as we could, time just got the better of us, otherwise we would have seen more. The video was about our personal experience of that day. We encourage people to visit and experience the area for themselves.
How about Mehmetçik monument? You passed nearby?
Neredeye 1 yıldır ülkemizi geziyorlar. Karşılaştıkları ilgiden, ülke insanımızın samimiyetinden ve içtenliğinden son derece memnunlar. Ancak malesef tarafsız olmayı başaramadılar. Türk tarafından bahsetmediler. Marianne and Chris, this vlog is a disappointment for me. Unfortunately You could not be impartial.

@@TREADtheglobe The rectangular monument with four columns is accepted as main important structure, any ship passing strait would pass saluting it.
it is victory monument called.
Without that one we generally dont feel those places were visited.
Point of the War England was keen on more resources to support her industry. Also they were trying to make sure it is understood that they are strong and they are the only thing important.
Through series of Wars we illustrated England that tears of innocent nations could not help her, and she can be defeated.
Finally they accepted defeat with Laussaune and Montreux agreements with Clear words.
World was in a race to share resources of innocent nations, öne or other one was going to take those resources.
Failure would mean a slavery to the other Side. Failure would mean same for us as well.
We thankfully managed to defend our country.
There were railroad debates and all. England wanted the Rail road pass from yafa harbour, we said pas from jarusalem so people could use.
Money vs human based optimization.
Very sbering first part of the video but very good never the less. Great information. Hope you Canakale park up was OK. I wonder if the girl caught the chicken. So the answer to the eternal question " Why did the chicken cross the road" "Because a little girl was chasing it" 😂 so now we know!. You are on the side of Turkey now we are familiar with from when we had our house there. Take care 💙❤️👍
Çanakkale is a very impressive place. When we built our caravan ourselves, this was the first place we wanted to go. We went at the end of June.
We were in the same place at the end of June, Bumerang. But It was closed and there was nobody.
We love to watch you...
Have a good trip :)

Very moving video, thankyou., all the war cemeteries seem to be beautifully kept. We were in Thailand a few years ago on Anzac Day and it was also very moving to see the wreaths left in honour.
There is currently a bridge construction. It's called the 1915 Bridge. However, it will open on 18 March 2022 in honor of the day we won the war on 18 March 1915. With love..

beautiful shooting and such a touching place. really heart breaking.
Hi Chris & marianne
Really enjoyed your watching your video of Gallipoli
Just wanted to share with you
The statue of a Turkish soldier carrying a wounded Allied soldier from no man's land to Australian trenches during the Battle
Thank you - yes there is so much humility and care even during the worst time in battle here - and we do hope we have inspired people to come to Turkey and visit to see for themselves - Marianne
Very nice video. I fell in love with Gelibolu and Canakkale when I was there couple of years ago. And I miss your "oh you're still there" -part at the end of the video. 😉
There is a very simple reason why the troops landing in Anzac cove were attacked heavily: they attacked the territory of another country. I am proud of my ancestors that they made a very strong defense in Gallipoli. Everyone defends their own land. If there is another big war today, I am ready to fight. On the other hand, it's a pretty dramatic situation. Thousands of young people died in their twenties on both sides. This is a very sad situation. The military profession in Turkey is very difficult nowadays. Even if the salary is good, the conditions are quite tough ...
My wife just watched “Anzac Girls” and loved hearing some expanded context and seeing the beautiful scenery.
Thanks for the video was great to see some of the terrain there, had quite a few relatives that fought there one that landed on the 25th was 15 years old he enlisted with 3 mates they lied about the age to join he was the only one of them that survived Gallipoli. He was with the 13th Australian battalion
Nice video guys, love the battle to disembark the ferry. 😱😍👍
Thank you 🤗 - The Turkish driver within !!
My fav city in Turkey its historical its beautiful and much more..... Galipolli-Canakkale has a big mean for every nation!
if you have a chance, stop by Bolayır Town, Drive to Çimpe Castle (first land of Ottoman in Europe) When the weather clear you will see the Marmara Sea and Egeaan sea at the Same Time.. good view
Another excelleny and informative video recalling a very sad time during WW1. The scenery around this area is beautiful. Missed your normal sign off .. oh your still there
Thank you - it might be back !! stay tuned
Marianne and Chris, taxi drivers all around the world are the same.Hasty drivers.Dont forget to visit Troy a bit far away from Çanakkale.
Yes this is so true !! Yes - Chris is making the video now 🙌
06:00am on the 25th of April 2015!! Said you @ 11:37!! I know you meant 1915!!!

Fully sharing the comments of Ms.Basak Ozkara.
Beside that Chris, you were supposed be becareful on your statements like you said "shame they landed Anzak difficult terrain than smoth landscape area just beside Anzak ... "(similiar meaning)
Another very interesting episode as usual .are you making your way towards Fethiye by any chance for the winter
Hi Mike we are coming to Fethiye to pick up our powerbank and then we will be heading east along the south coast 💜
Fantastic job of showing those war memorials, you did that justice. So emotional, those guys really do feel so close to us, hope we are doing them proud, and for what they did, people like you travelling the world freely show they did have some justice in giving what they gave.
Hi don't forget to see Troy horse which from Hollywood Troy film Canakkale harbor very nice.
I will check it out
I wonder where’s the “ohh you’re still there” part at the end. 😅
It will be back !!
Beautiful Gallipoli, wonderful memorial to those who fought and lost their lives - beautifully maintained by the Turks - as Mustafa Kemal Ataturk says : your sons are now lying in our bosom. They are in peace and will lie here in peace. That was a very important war for the Turks as it started Ataturk’s mission for our independence and freedom. A very bad move by Churchill to go to the Dardanelles.
There is a wonderful song which commemorates the Battle of Gallipoli Called Waltzing Matilda, available on youtube, sums up the futility of war.
It is always sad when you visit these memorial sites. I could feel your remorse for the fallen soldiers on both sides of the conflict it is sad also it is good that we honour them as we do for there courage in what they had to face. As long as we never for get and try to live in peace with one another. Watching your vlogs I feel as ordinary people we can do, the love that you have been shown on this fantastic adventure from people of all nationalities we do love each other as human beings. Long may it continue God willing. Thanks for sharing this with us. 👍👍
