Description
 
A mere two weeks after the April landings at Anzac Cove, Gallipoli, the 2nd Australian Infantry Brigade added further to its honours by the carge at the Second Battle of Krithia.

In the space of an hour, the brigade has lost 1000 dead and wounded. This heroic, but costly charge was described aby several survivors as 'sheer murde'.

These two battles, both of which form the foundation of the Anzac tradition, are vividly retold here through the diaries and letters of officers and men of the four Victorian Battalions which made up the Brigade.
