Here is a lesser known video of World War One. Most of you may be familiar with Geoffrey Malin's "Battle of the Somme" film of 1916, but a year earlier war correspondent Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett and photographer Ernest Brooks filmed the action at Gallipoli over several months. The silent movie runs about 20 minutes and shows activities of both British and ANZAC forces.
Ashmead-Bartlett became highly critical of the Dardanelles Campaign, to the point he was ordered to leave at the end of September 1915. He was subject to censorship and surveillance at every speaking engagement lest he speak further ill of the campaign. There is much more to read on the subject for those interested.
