    Recommended Posts

    Hello,

    Please add the films you know about Gallipoli and WWI Turkey. Please indicate it, if it is documentary.

    Let me start with:

    TELL ENGLAND

    Mustafa Kemal Atatürk liked the film when he saw it on 22.1.1932.

    Tell England – 1931 | 80mins | War | B&W Plot Synopsis

    http://www.britmovie...ll-England_1931

    Edgar Doe and Rupert Ray, boyhood friends, enlist in the British army at the outbreak of war in 1914. Both receive commissions and are sent eventually as part of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force to Gallipoli The horrors of war begin slowly to damp their romantic enthusiasm, and Doe, the more idealistic and sensitive of the two is nerve racked by months of inactivity and then by the cruel slaughter of his men by a Turkish trench mortar. He quarrels with Ray (a young, inarticulate Englishman) who has been promoted to captain, and breaks down; he regains self-confidence on learning that he has been chosen to lead a raid on the Turkish trenches.

    Doe goes over the top, is seriously wounded, but manages single-handed to put the trench mortar post out of action. Soon after his death, the British withdraw from Gallipoli. The expedition has been a military blunder and only the scores of English graves left behind commemorate a tragic campaign.
