I have been commissioned to write a short story for a local school in my area from the first-person perspective of a British Marine at Gallipoli, along with a couple of simple pictures that a friend will do.
What is the definitive, most accurate and unbiased account of this conflict?
I am writing about the opening moments of the Gallipoli landings, when the ANZAC and British troops first charged the beaches; in my head I am using the template of the D-Day landings of WW2, just to give me an idea of the environment...would this be accurate? I know it was desert rather than temperate terrain, and the Turks were embedded in fortresses much higher up the cliff tops than the Nazi troops on the Normandy beaches, and of course the technology wasn't as advanced, but is this mental picture I have a good palce to start?
Thanks for any serious help.
