Line 3:
This is the site of the amphibious invasion by the British and French forces that took place on [[25 April]] 1915 during the First World War. It was here that heavy fighting ensued to force Turkey out of the war. Fighting continued until the full evacuation of the British in early January, 1916. This a British defeat and a failed operation to successfully take control of the peninsula.
 
The [[{{gw|Commonwealth War Graves Commission]]}} maintains the Helles Memorial to this day.
