Eye witness accounts,diaries and letters bring to life the dramatic story of the tough New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade's actions in 1915.
"We arrived in the middle of the night and couldn't see a thing. We really didn't know where we were. We hadn't been told anything; General Godley finally turned up and told us to do our best for King and Country".
The full story is here:the mobilisation,the sea journey,the camp in Egypt and their eventual arrival on Gallipoli. All the battles and skirmishes that were fought there and finally the remarkable evacuation.
"We live in holes dug into the ground and live like fighting cocks,Many of the Christchurch men I knew have all gone but they all died hard".
