Dates: 22-29 April (2027 & 2028) (Limited to 12 people)
Beware! This is not a cemetery tour but analysis with original maps and orders in hand, across each of the battlefields. We will identify trenches – perhaps where a family member once stood in May 1915? – and “hop the bags” to stumble across to German Officer’s Trench or perhaps to Johnstone’s Jolly on Lone Pine.
Join historian and author Hugh Dolan on this once in a lifetime tour as we undertake an in-depth military study tour of the Gallipoli Campaign.
We will wade onto ANZAC Cove, slipping on the shingle, before heading on to Plugges Plateau. This campaign was an amphibious assault so we will use a vessel to approach Cape Helles, Brighton Beach, Gaba Tepe, Nibrunessi Point and Ari Burnu.
In the evenings we will sit on a wide veranda with a Turkish Effes beer, Cappadocian wine, pide, kofta, mezze, baklava and discuss the next day’s battlefield walk.
We will stand in original trenches and look across from the Nek to Lone Pine. We will conduct the tour in chronological order starting from the ANZAC landing in April 1915 to the evacuation in December 1915. We will use both a vessel and a vehicle to reach inaccessible places for our members who have difficulty walking.
This tour also connects to our Western Front Tour, so you can truly follow in the footsteps of the Anzacs. See our ANZAC to Amiens Tour
All participants will receive a signed copy of Hugh's book 36 Days
