Candles at Dawn

Ellie and her Mum are going to go to Gallipoli to visit the site where the Anzacs fought In Turkey and meet Zeynep and her Mum who own the Boarding House. They become friends and discover that her Great Grandfather and Great Uncle also fought in the war When the Anzac's arrived in Gallipoli they dug trenches and lived there. They were on the beach fighting against the Turks who were on the cliff above them There wasn't much food or water or ammunition. During the whole time they fought, they made almost no progress, any they took, they lost again so eventually they decided to retreat.
