Episode description

In this episode we look at the personal stories of the ANZAC forces that landed at Gallipoli on 25th April 1915. We hear from the soldiers themselves as they explain what happened on that fateful day and we examine the story of Lieutenant-Colonel Lancelot Fox Clarke who was killed leading his men into action. We also talk to historian and broadcaster Graham McKechnie who tells the story of Blair Swannell, a Northampton Saints and British Lion rugby player who also played for Australia before laying down his life, 15 minutes after landing on Anzac Cove.
