Gallipoli: Jack Bennett

On the morning of April 25, 1915 the first waves of ANZACs landed under heavy Turkish fire on the Gallipoli Pensinsula. Eight months later, 7594 Australians had been killed and more than 19,000 had been wounded. One-fifth of the men in this tragic and mismanaged encounter were under twenty-one, boys who were fired with loyalty for a nation not yet fifteen years old. This is the story of two of those boys. Based on the screenplay by David Williamson from a story by Peter Weir.
