Research Task: • Choose one battle and report when, where and how Australians fought in it. The battle of Lone Pine The Battle of Lone Pine, which was fought during the Gallipoli campaign for about five days from the sixth to the tenth of August 1915. The area in which the battle was fought was around the ‘400’ plateau. The Lone Pine area was relatively mild and the enemy trenches were separated some distance with a level no- man's land in between. pg. 3 © www.roydonng.com The original Australian front at Lone Pine contained some fortifications. To the north of the fortifications was the Turkish reserve area labeled ‘The Cup' because of its location on the head of a gully. The Turkish positions at Lone Pine were the strongest at ANZAC and no attack was anticipated there. The assault on Lone Pine, by Fred Leist, 1921 The commander of the Australian 1st Division, which was to make the attack, was General H.B. Walker. General Walker did not support an attack on Lone Pine, the British General Sir Ian Hamilton, insisted that Lone Pine be attacked, Walker tried to give his troops the greatest possibility of victory possible on such an hostile battleground. The battlefront about 200m wide and the gap of 90m separated the ANZAC and Turkish trenches. Some Australian soldiers dug tunnels to within 40m of the enemy trenches. Half of the 1 st division which crossed through no-man’s land where protected from enemy fire by craters left in the ground after the initial bombings which also destroyed most of the Turkish barbed wirings. Australian soldiers in a captured Turkish trench Australian cemetery at Lone Pine The Australians had to fight against a massive insurgency from the Turkish, who had covered their trenches with logs. Once the 1 st Division had captured the trenches within 12 hours of the attack, the Turkish launched frequent raids for the next four days. The 2 nd and 3 rd divisions of the ANZAC forces arrived in time to flush out the Turkish resistance. Although the AIF won the battle of Lone Pine, the Gallipoli campaign was a disaster for the ANZAC forces. The battle of Lone Pine saw over 2,500 Australians killed or wounded. Several Australians were awarded the Victorian Cross for their bravery and skill. Each year on ANZAC Day, Australian visitors assemble at the Lone Pine cemetery which now stands as a memorial to remember of the ANZACS who fought and died at Gallipoli. pg. 4 .
