Thank you. Deeper. Come on, deeper, deeper.
Come on, deeper. Come on, deeper, deeper. Here, boy, here. That's it. Now, loosen up.
Come on, loosen up. Come on, boy, loosen them up. That's it.
Now on the spot. One, two, one, two, one, two. What are your legs?
Springs. Steel springs. What are they going to do? Hold me down the track.
How fast can you run? As fast as a leopard. How fast are you going to run? As fast as a leopard. Then let's see you do it.
Are you ready, Leopard? On your mark, get set... Come on, boy.
Come on, boy. How'd it feel? All right. Nine and five-eighths. Get after him, Purse!
Where'd you learn to ride? On a rocking horse? Les!
Les! Get out the gate! A flat can do that.
I want you to do it. When I'm ready. Now! Don't split him! Bastard!
Billyy! Zach! Bring up the tire! Bring it up!
Come here! Yeah! Hit him up!
Hit him up! Woo! Lovely, lovely! Yeah!
Come on! Hey! You ever watch the further company of blacks, say Archieie? Zach's my mate.
We ran together. You fancy yourself as a runner, eh? He's more than a runner. He's top bloody athlete. Girls run.
Men box. Playoff less. He can run faster than you can ride!
Is that a fact? Two to one, I'll beat you to the home gate. Me on horseback? You on foot? Yeah, I'll go cross country, you take the track.
That's a fair bet. That track's five miles further. Yeah, have a go, Les. Ha! Okay!
You're on! Barton. You're on. Ha ha! Make your bets boys!
Steady. Bareback. Barton.
Bareback. Hey, this is gonna ride bareback, that's a joke. You wanna lay money on that?
You cover that archer? He just said he'd cover it. You're a mad archer.
I need five bucks. There's my man that says Les wins mate. This is my day, what do you reckon?
You're on mate, got a good bet there. Righto, let's go boys. You alright Archieie? Yeah. Line them up.
Go up in these, don't go through the rocks. On your marks, get set... Hey boy, enjoy the walk!
Hehe, get up! Let's build out! I can't understand you. Sorry, Uncle Jack.
You've got the God-given ability to be amongst our very greatest. And I'm not just saying that, lad. You could be up there with Lascelles's.
Uncle Jack... Greater than Lascelles's. And three days before your first big race, you have to go and do this. I'll still win.
Yeah? Manix, not all there is to life. Come on, kids.
Hey, let's go. Peterr Trevelyan joined up last week. No more of that, you're underage. You ran away from home when you were younger than me. Not to a war.
All around the world by the time you were 18. Barbary Coast, Spice Isles. No, I didn't do it. No, you didn't. Dad said you only got yourself killed half a dozen times. I judged the risks and took my chances.
War is different. How is it different? It's just different. You know there's no hard let you go, so what's the point in talking about it? I thought you might help me.
Get with the plane, darling. When's this race? Saturday.
How long are you gonna be gone? Just over the weekend. Fine time you picked a go gallivanting off in town, right in the middle of the bloody mustard patch. Don't swear in front of the girls, Les.
Make sure you put in your first year of work before you go. Yes, Dad. Fire was burning furiously at the end of the branch, and Mowgli struck right and left around the circle, and the wolves ran howling, with the sparks burning their fur. At last, there were only Keeler, Bagheera, and perhaps ten wolves that had taken Mowgli's part. Then something began to hurt Mowgli inside him, as he'd never been hurt in his life before.
And he caught his breath and sobbed. And the tears ran down his face. What is it?
What is it, he said. I do not wish to leave the jungle, and I do not know what this is. Am I dying, Bagheera? No, little brother, said Bagheera. Those are only tears such as men use.
Now I know thou art a man, and a man's cub no longer. Let them fall, Margulie. They're only tears. Sir Margulie sat and cried as though his heart would break. And he'd never cried in all his life before.
Now, he said, I will go to men. Come on, come on, chapter. Children, come on inside. All right, come on, kids, there's Mum. Don't get Uncle into trouble.
Bedtime! Come on, inside, out of the wind. Come on, quick.
Come on, kids, into bed. All right, stop that. Thank London, 29th April.
The War Office announces despite continual opposition our troops have established themselves across Gallipoli. Gallipoli. Hey listen to this.
The Turkish defenses included wire entanglements on land and sea and deep pits with spiked bottoms. Bastards! That's it. I'm gonna join up. Me too.
What about you Barton? Right. Eh?
I'll be in it. Hey, the girls go wild over a uniform. Yeah?
Of course, in your case, I don't think anything would help but your ma's will give it a go. Hey, we could all join up together. Count me in. Come on, Frank, you gotta be in it. No thanks, if you blokes all want to go and get yourselves shot, go ahead.
Well, I'm not scared to die for my country, Frank. Well, good for you, Snow. You go and sign yourself on. Well, you must admit, mate, nothing could be worse than this here.
Can't argue with that. You're going to join them? No.
I'm not gonna stay here either. Les! Wilson! Where the hell are you?
What are you doing? Where are you going? Hurry boss!
Hey Stan, you hear me? You'll never work for the railways again! Stop at the cupboard.
Come here. Come on. Give us those shoes.
Hi Archie. Good luck. Thanks.
Goodbye Mum. Only two days. Come on. We've got a race to run.
Children! Get up! Alexa. I am a hero, Get out of my car.
Just having a look, boss. Yeah, I know, I know. The bottle preserves of the ladies of Zuri.
I'll proceed to the Belgian Relief Bank. I think we're married When you think of us I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I Please. Mike, jump up.
Over here, Mike. Yeah. What about the handicapping? Oh, I can't talk about handicapping now.
Get done the best by yourself. This where you entered for the gift? Entrance closed a week ago. I haven't had back. What's your name?
Dunn. You registered? Yeah, in Perth.
When did you run the last race? Fremantle, about six months ago. Yeah, I know you. The stand-up star.
Oh. A bit of scratching. Give him a go. What's the prize money? Ten guineas.
And the medal. He wants it. take bets. No, it's against the law. How much was he wanting to lay?
20 quid. You're pretty confident. Where's your 20? You Archieie Hamilton's running.
Who's he? Probably the fastest kid in West Australia, if not the country. What's he run? Under 10. Wouldn't want to take your money without fair warning. What's my mark?
Same as the local kid. All right, you're on. You can still pull out, lad.
The cells pulled out of the Barton cup and nobody thought the worse of him. Come on. Push.
Now for the big event of the afternoon, the one you've all been waiting for, the Kimberly Gifts! Announcing a late entry, FC Dunn of course, starting off three yards, the same mark as our own champion, Archieie Hamilton! Right, start your breathing. Come on, deeper from here! Now, what are these?
Come on! Steel springs. Again! Steel springs. What are they gonna do?
Pull me down the track. How fast can you run? As fast as a leopard. How fast are you gonna run? As fast as a leopard.
Right! Then let's see you do it! Ready set... Let's find out how to get into this game of the ball. It was bad luck, mate.
Let's just forget it, eh? Nine and five-sixteenths, lad, you've equaled the great Harry Lascelles. Cut feet and all, nothing's gonna stop you now.
Jack, I'm not coming home. No, I didn't think you were, lad. You bag weighed a ton. What do you got in it? Oh, books mostly.
Well, what if they don't take you? You don't look 21. They won't ask questions when they see me ride. We've been through a lot of scrapes together.
Take care of it. Whoo! Alright! God bless you, boy. 21?
Yes, sir. You don't look it. Got a birth certificate?
I didn't know we were supposed to bring one, sir. Go on, mount up. Excuse me, sir. I know this lad and he's only 18. His father would skin him alive if he knew he was here. We can turn a blind eye if it's a matter of six months or so, but not when you're 18. Come on now, off the horse.
Come back here! Come back, you bloody fool! Good morning. Three and six. After months of hard training in Egypt...
Hard training. Australia's fighting... G'day.
G'day. Australia's fighting force faced its baptism of fire on the rocky slopes of Gallipoli... Fruit themselves heroes.
Sorry about yesterday, mate. We're in a great race. Frank Dunn. Archieie Hamilton. Well, it just gave me a hell of a shock to be beaten right out here.
Won everything there was to win in Perth. I was just lucky. Well, look, anyone who runs under nine and a half with crook feet isn't just lucky, mate. You joining up? No, I missed out.
I'm underage. You want something to eat? You mean what I like to order?
You're from the city. I guess, as a matter of fact, I am. Yeah.
Well, we don't put on the dog up here. What do you want to eat? Well, if that's your attitude, I wouldn't have anything. Suit yourself. Ah, he's not finished.
How are you, mate? Thank you. You better have something. I'm not hungry. Don't you want it?
No. I can't see good food wasted. Want to try again? I can't. They know I'm underage.
Not here. In Perth. I feel like I've just been made. Show us how to prepare.
Of course I'm glad he is. Now where else for it to go? Hey, come on mate, we're here. Perth? Uh, no mate, not quite.
Morning. We seem to have lost our train. Two weeks.
Two weeks. Fucker it. Unless you're game enough to cross the lake.
Uh, hey Archie, uh, two weeks, that's not too long. Hey Archie, hang on will ya? Where to pack this? Archieie, will ya?
Archie! Archieie will fry like eggs out there. Hey, let's give this a little thought, eh? You'll never make...
It's fifty miles of that! If the snake doesn't get through the black will. You're mad. We should have waited. It's quicker this way.
That's what Turk and Wilson thought. How do you know we're not walking around in circles? The sun. Why don't we run out of water?
There's always water if you know how to find it. How do you find it? Cockatoos.
Sunset, they'll lead you straight to it. Oh, that's lovely. We put our lives on the hands of a mob of parrots. Thank Thank you What's all this watch business? Well, when you point 12 o'clock to the sun, north is halfway between the hour hand and 12. Can you ride, Frank?
Yeah, why? Just wondered why you didn't drive for the Light Horse. Didn't want to.
What, are you gonna join the infantry? Not joining anything. But you gotta be in it. Don't have to if you don't want to. You gotta be.
No, I don't. It's a free country, haven't you heard? I'd be ashamed of myself if I didn't fight. Well, that only proves one thing, that you and I are different. Let's drop it, eh?
You of all people should be going. Why me of all people? Because you're an athlete. What's that got to do with it? I've got mates who'd be lucky to run the 112 and they're gonna do their bit.
So why shouldn't you? Because it's not our bloody war. What do you mean not our war? It's an English war.
It's got nothing to do with it. Here's what you are. You're a bloody coward. There's only one reason why I haven't knocked you down, mate. What?
Because I don't feel like carrying you to the next bloody waterhole. Now shut up and don't happen to yap about the war again. Where's your son now?
Thank you. This'd have to be your lucky day. We were told there's a property due south. Yeah, old Dad's place. Got about ten more miles to go.
He'll probably give you a ride to all the bees. Where you headed? Perth.
I nearly went there once. Thought I'd see one big city before I die. You looking for work?
No, I'm up to the war. What war? The war against Germany.
I knew a German once. How did it start? Don't start him. Don't know exactly, but it was the Germans'fault. The Australians fighting already.
In Turkey. Turkey? Why's that?
Ask him. Because Turkey's a German ally. Oh, well, you learn something every day. Tim, can't see what it's got to do with us.
If we don't stop them there, they could end up here. And they're welcome to it. Woo!
We made it you bach! G'day. G'day. Don't wear out the leather on them boots, will you?
There was no choice. Harry! I think you're very brave to set off without a compass.
Uh, no, not really. All you need is your watch and the sun and you can find your way anywhere. Why are you boys going to Perth? I'm going to join the Light Horse. Good.
You too, Frank? Uh, no. Business interest to attend to. Oh, while the Germans are crucifying kittens on church doors in Belgium.
This is great. I do love the Light Horse uniforms. Most of the boys around here joined the Light Horse. If I'd had a son, that's what he would have joined too. Let's drink a toast to our brave young friend.
What do you mean about business interests? Business interests? You know, finance. You tell me you're broke.
Well, I am, thanks to you. What would you have done with the money if you'd won? I was gonna start a bike shop.
They only take Toffs and Farmer's Sons and the Light Horse. You're thinking of joining? Well, there's no way you'd get me near the infantry.
The Light Horse. That's got a bit of class. Woo-hoo!
We could join together! Well, there's only one problem, mate. What?
You know, I told you I could ride. Put the stirrup, knee and shoulder, up. Come on. Knee and shoulder. Up.
No, no, no. Put the stirrup first. Swing up.
Swing up. Woo! Get on it!
Bloody What name? What do you mean? What do you want to call yourself? Can't use your own name.
What's up? Archieie bald. The time I finish with you, you look the other side of 40. Yeah, where mother nature fails, Frank Dunn succeeds.
Oh, no. Hang on. No, Frank.
It looks good. Oh, no. Look.
Hang on. Oh, yeah. Oh, no.
Look, I've done it before, pal. Back her off, Frank. Have another drink. Whiskey doesn't make you look old.
It doesn't adjust. Have you seen my dad? I know he looks like a wreck, but he's really only 35. Jesus. How's he look, Dad? Fine.
But what the hell do you want to join him for? The English murdered your own grandfather, hung him with his own belt at the crossroads... Five miles from Dublin.
Look, Dad, I am not gonna fight for the British Empire. I'm gonna keep my head down. Learn a trick or two and... come back an officer. Hm?
Maybe. Well, I don't want to be pushed around for the rest of my bloody life. Right.
Right. The South! The South!
Lascelles. In relation to Harry Lascelles, the famous runner? No, sir. Right, Lascelles.
Off to the dock. Thank you, sir. Done. Sir. Any previous military experience done?
Yes, sir. Five years in the Melbourne Horse Cadets. Never heard of them.
Well, no, sir. They never received as much recognition as they deserved. Thank you, sir. Okay, Mr Hales, you're in.
I'll call to that group over there. Put in the stirrup. Me and he shall run the relax. Thanks, mate.
Nice shot. Thank you. Hey, pal, I'm your uncle, Frank.
Tough but fair, so no bloody nonsense, eh? Hurry up, Don, the war will be over. Ha! Give it a cat, mate. Ha!
Good son, thank you very much. Not if I see you first. Thank you.
4 pairs of socks, plenty of singlets and he knows his stomach. And this, to drink on her anniversary. Please come home.
Tim You! Three years ago! Yeah, yeah, yeah! Just stupid galah!
Everyone fell! Because it made my money! Oh! Hey! Blah!
What are you blokes doing here? Well, it's our last night. If you're not gonna fight, you can at least buy us a beer.
Eh? Nah! Ah!
Make it four, first! That's off. Sorry. Up straight. Come on, another quarter of an inch.
Come on. Come on. Hey.
Keep on it all that good. You're supposed to shoot the enemy, mate, not fight him. We don't take anyone with bad teeth.
If you don't pass him, you lost all four of us. Next. Over. Thank you. Mr Rizzo, young major man.
Something's got to be done about that lofty bastard. I can't hear you, dear B. No, he sounds like a bloody Victorian. Hello, Australia. Hello.
No, no, no. You know, I reckon it took 100,000 blokes 20 years to build that. Must have been a lot of blokes around with crooked backs.
It's not just a monument, you know. You know what it is. Blades break while they're up.
The pharaoh, mate. The pharaoh, his wife, and everything they had were buried in that. That's man's first attempt to beat death.
Thanks, Professor. Look, can you get your mind back on the game? Let's think about the West Australians'first attempt to beat the bloody Dick.
Is there any water? No, something's got to be done about that long, thin streak of pelican shit. Yeah, get him. Don't leave him on, Billy.
Let's get the bastards right out. Yes, I can. All right men, you are shortly to be let loose on the local inhabitants. Who you will be surprised to find don't look at all like you, a fact of which they are no doubt eternally grateful. First up, beware of the local eggs, which can be distinguished only by their antiquity.
The local liquor, which is poisonous. And for those of you who are contemplating some horizontal refreshment, just be warned, because those proverbial few moments of pleasure are very likely to leave you with a legacy which is horribly painful, difficult to cure, and may get you sent home to face embarrassing questions from... girlfriend and or wife. However, I know nothing I say is going to discourage some of you, so I'm going to hand you over to Doc Morgan, who has had it all and cured it all. He will show you how to minimize the risk, so pay attention.
Company, attention! Halt! Quiet! Hey, John, how much do you want, Billy? How much?
No, let's do one. Hang on, how much has he chosen you, mate? Five. No, four. The official price is two.
No, no, five piastres. Two piastres. Give him a bit more.
Barn, there is a correct price. If we pay more, we're encouraging dishonesty. Why don't we go and look at the past? Yeah, we can go and join Dick and the chat and Trevelyan. Two piastres.
Oh Fine shifting those animals out of the way Sorry sir Those four there, 10p.s. Okay The direct price is 2p.s. It'll be worth it, snout In the garden, General Billy You Australians are crude, undisciplined, and the most ill-mannered soldiers I've ever encountered. You are leaving the new day with that. Right.
England needs a hand, well here it is. If England needs a hand, well here it is. Oh, you've shown the enemy where it's at.
The boys from Victoria and New South Wales. South Australia and the West, my lads. Queensland's in tansy, no, they're big and slow. Why, little old fellow, and we will surely take a hand. And if England needs a hand, you'll hear it here.
Oi! No, no, no, clear off, How can they do that? Life is cheap here, Snow, and the women have no respect for themselves.
It's the same in most foreign places. Brownie! Empty!
Dollar! Empty! Dollar! Have a look at this, fellas. I've heard a thousand of these.
How much you pay for it? Beat him down to two quid. How much you pay for yours? Five, Bob. See, what did I tell you?
These Jesus are a pack of thieves. Me take the pickpockets. That one, I think. Ready?
Shufi, Milhada. Oi. Ahlan, sahlan, ahlan, sahlan.
What can I do for you, gentlemen? Sir, we Australians come to your country as guests. You're an old civilisation. We are a new civilization. Don't give him a geography lesson.
Tell him to cough up with the money Listen, we're not just soldiers. We're diplomats for our country Give my mate back his money or I'll flatten you. But Frank they're bloody thieves they've got a different way of seeing things here. You see, our problem is that I bought this from another shop and paid five shillings for it, whereas my friend Mr Wilson bought this from you, which you can see is exactly the same, and paid two pound, which in my country would seem to be pretty unfair. Very right, yep.
So we were wondering if you wouldn't mind taking it back and giving us the two pound. No, no, no, no. This is not...
This is not mine. This is yours. Listen, mate, if you tried that where we come from, you'd last about as long as a snowflake in summer now. Cough up.
The money. This is not mine. Now, I'm gonna get really bloody angry here.
Bring that snow. Now, listen, mate. I know how you feel. While a sail is a sail...
What I was saying is while that... That'll seat your ass, darling. Take your money and go! You're dealing with Australians here, you know.
Hey, fellas. That wasn't the shop. This is it here. Hey, fellas, it was the wrong shop. Hey, fellas!
We clean, no dirty, we very clean. Hi, how are you? My name is Rosie.
Hello, little kangaroo. Hi, I'm Joe. Come here, I just want to say nice to you. I just want to get both people's on there. A little bit more.
Hiya. I wonder if it would be too much trouble to ask how much? Twenty piastres.
Honey, what the crap's this any for, Bob? Honey, cut it out. Snow, this is wartime. In a month we might be dead. Really?
They're common. They're cheap. Oops, Peterr. Relatively. This beats antiques.
I'm going. You wait here, Snow. We'll be back in a few minutes.
Hey, bud, go get my penny till it's all over. You know what? I'm disgusted. What are you gonna say to your wives on your wedding night?
You my friend. Hello, welcome Australia. Bugger off.
Company! Hold! Rest easy. Put that canteen away, that man!
All right, the tips and quiet. As you all know, this morning's exercise involves a frontal assault on an enemy trench. The enemy being some gentlemen from the Light Horse. Now these gentlemen, presumably because their arses are higher from the ground than ours, tend to assume airs of superiority. But they won't have their horses with them today.
So I want you to go out there this morning and short of actually killing them, show them the stuff the infantry has made of! Loads! Keep calm and keep steady!
Hey mate! This is supposed to be warfare! Break this up! He's really enthusiastic.
Right down, Archie. Come on. Who killed you? Well you can't all be bloody wounded!
None of you are not designated to be dead! Who killed you? Finish!
We're dead, mate. Piss off. We're dead, mate.
Piss off. Ha ha ha ha ha! Bye!
Hey, you know what your problem is? What? The way you start.
You're wrong, Archie. You're wrong. No, no, no. Crouching makes all the difference. Harry Lascelles's proven it.
Archieie, you're wrong. If you crouch down, you've got further to go to get up. Try it. First to the Pyramids. Okay, you're on.
Ready? Sit. Go! We're both... We're both mad!
No. Maybe if you were brothers. But sir, we... I said no. So we're not taking our horses, sir?
He wouldn't have to ride at all. Now look, your own blokes are going across very soon. Why do you want to transfer, Dunn?
Archieie and I are mates, sir. That's not good enough. We train together, sir.
You're runners? Yes, sir. Sprinters? Yes, sir.
What's your best time for the hundred? We both run under ten, don't we, Archie? Oh, that's a coincidence.
You Lascelles runs under ten. Well, a fast pair of legs never draw back on any troop. I'll do what I can. Thank you, sir. Thank you.
Right, then, Dick. Dick. Dick. No, no, him, sir. Morning ladies, what do you think?
It's alright. What's the matter with you blokes? Nothing.
Hey now look, I always wanted to join the Light Horse. Infantry not good enough for you, mate. I wonder if that's how you're gonna be. I'll see you when I see you. Calm off the boil, Snape.
You know Frank? Yeah, sell his own grandmother for tuppence, still talk his way into heaven. Aw, it's just bad luck for mates to split up.
Thank you, sir. Just over there. Right over here, do it yourself. Good evening, sir. For Major Hamilton there is a merit to you.
Hey, you! Evening, sir. Would you mind telling Don that this is the dance floor offices only? Youself?
Have one or two drinks before you go. 9000 Pass it The thing I can't stand about you mate is you're always so bloody cheerful. You know they have a lineup.
For breakfast. Ground biscuit porridge and fried bully beef. Well if you've got the bacon like you promised.
I can't put miracles. So they're saying there's bacon around. Well there is, there is.
Just gotta give me some time to learn the ropes actually. We have all the great battle lords. Sure mate. Insurance.
It covers everything except sharks. Boys! Good on ya. Now you're flush, you couldn't lend me five bob.
Thanks mate. Thanks mate. It says here that Cavill came from the fence place.
That's it. Now they're there. Two o'clock.
Go. Did you get him? Don't look for yourself. You blokes are you? Here you go.
No thanks. You could have arrived and landed, but the Turks have had us pinned down here overseas. You blokes have been brought over to get ready for a big push. That's good, we've been here for days and haven't seen a Turk yet.
I'm in no hurry. Dead set, mate. Water bottles! Water bottles! Bottles!
Come on, give us a chance. Yeah, keep it clear. Morning, Acton! Hey Peter, got a smoke?
Yeah. Keep your head down! Yeah, but a bit short on the champagne.
Good on ya mate. Hey! Short cut to the beach isn't it?
Yeah! Short cut to the bloody cemetery! Yeah, nice!
What do you reckon? Nice beat! Hey!
Howdyo, I'm loyal! Hey, what's up? I'm out. Not a big joke.
What are you doing back there? Too fierce to me? He's the midget of the family. Good night, Warnack.
Here, take it. No, sorry mate, no, sir. We'll come on up straight away. No, sorry. What's it worth to you, mate?
You bacon and flask. Good run. Take a lift, mate, I've gotta go.
Yeah, I suppose so. I This here's Barton. Hey.
Billyy. Billyy. Billyy.
Billyy. This little bloke here, this is Snow. G'day.
G'day. Uh, where you from? Oh, hey!
Oh, you're great, mate. Good job. Good job. I thought they'd been talking about it, have they? Oh, you know, Frank.
Yeah, he likes to hear the same of his own voice. Thanks, mate. Oh, look, I know more about you than your own mother.
I hope so. What you're telling me, sir, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that the infantry attack on Lone Pine and our attack on the Neck are just diversions. Not just diversions, Major. Vitally important diversions. Tonight, 25,000 British troops are to land here at Suvala Bay.
Our attacks are to draw the Turks down on us so the British can get ashore. Sorry I didn't tell you this before, secrecy is vital. Sir, the Neck is a fortress. Protected by at least five machine guns, a point-blank range.
Yeah, we've considered that, Barton. We're gonna hit their trenches with the heaviest barrage of the campaign, just before your men go over the top. By the time we finish, Ted, there won't be a Turk within miles.
Turks can keep us pinned down at Anzac forever. This new British landing is our only hope. We must do what we can to make it succeed. Because if it does succeed, we'll have Constantinople in a week. ...knocked Turkey out of the war.
Everything's ready? Yes, sir, all the guns are in position. We'll start the bombardment at dawn and stop at 0430 sharp. That's...just over 12 hours from now.
You name has been selected at random by the ladies'patriotic artillery. We hope that this parcel does its little bit to keep up morale going. Looks like that shows the measurements are random too.
See soap, ointment, lavender, water, talcum powder, enos, fruit soda. God, the old Dad will send me half a chemist's shop. What's this?
A cookbook. What do they think it is, a picnic? Just the thought that... We can count a bit more if they can bloody well think. Oh, that does it.
A bloke who fixed my bike 18 months ago sends me a bill for seven and six. How's the time? Half past four. When are you going over?
Past five. You going for the ridge? No.
What's it called? Lone Mine. What are you blokes doing?
No, going for the neck tomorrow. Neck? Yeah. I reckon the Turks got machine guns everywhere.
Yeah, well, ship's guns are gonna knock them out before we go. Like a drink? No.
Ah, go on, Snow. The Lord's not gonna hold it against you. He turns a blind eye about an hour before every battle.
You all right? Hey, beardies. When are they going? Serious cases to the tent.
Put your weight on. Might be wounded over here. Hey, you seen Billyy Les?
Brownie Wilson? Now? Hey, mate, you seen Billyy Les? Joe, you alright? Brownie's dead.
He was running alongside of me. I thought he just tripped. You know how clumsy he is?
Slow. Can I get some coffee? They won't give me any food or anything to drink. What do you reckon that is, Sir? I've no idea what they're doing, Stan.
We got there, but, Sir, we took their bloody trenches. Yeah, Billyy said you were a real hero. Just give me a diary to Mum and Dad, will ya? I just want them to know what I did.
I'm not taking his right, mine's gonna waste a bullet on you. Get some sleep. Here's one.
You hungry? Sharp enough for you, sir? 516 say? Kimberly Giff.
You're Archieie Hamilton, aren't you? Excuse me, sir. Ah, don't worry, I'm not gonna turn you in. I'm proud to have you with us. Thank you, sir.
Matter of fact, I want you as a runner tomorrow. But sir, I'd rather fight. A few extra yards of speed, son, can save the lives of hundreds of men. I've come a long way to being this. I don't want to miss out now.
I need a runner, Hamilton. Communications won't last five minutes once the showing starts. You could use Frank.
He's just as fast as I am and I'm the one that really got him into this. He wanted to start a bike show. Is he scared?
No, sir. Just a bit. I will not let you go I will not let you go I will not let you go Hey You mind Done.
Report to Major Barton. What the hell for? You're off the hook.
You need to run her. Go on, hop to it. Have your luck. My leash. Fade.
See you when I see you. I know you still haven't forgiven me for running off, but I'm sure in my own mind that I was right, and so would you if you were here with me now. We're getting ready to make an all-out assault on John Turk, and we know we're going to give a good account of ourselves and our country.
Everyone is terribly excited. There's a feeling that we're all involved in an adventure that's somehow larger than life. Jesus!
The Stort Jets, sir, there's still seven minutes to go. Well, maybe they're luring the Turks back into the trenches to give them a final burst. Done.
Get on to headquarters. Find out what's happening. Before I know it. You'd better send us now. If the Turks get back into the trenches, we'll be cut to pieces.
Just hang on. They might come on the final burst. They're pouring back into the trenches, sir. Colonel Robinson.
Barton, sir. Barton, I don't care what your watchers say. Mike says they should have gone three minutes ago, so send them.
Sir, do you know they're back in the trenches? I know that, Barton, and I still say you must go. Yes, sir. We go ahead, as planned. Come on, lads.
Unload your rifles. Nothing at the spout. We're going in with the bayonet. No bullets.
Unload. Nothing at the spout. We're going in with the bayonet.
Steady, lads. Wait for it. Get off!
Come on, boys! Third wave, get up to the wall! What's happening down there, Lieutenant? Well, it's all pretty confusing at the moment, sir.
Has it been a success, or hasn't it? Well, it's hard to say, sir. There was a report that one of our marker flags was seen in the enemy trench. Uh, marker flag.
Hello? Hello? Hello, sir! Hello?
Hello? Third wave! Done.
Take any position. Come on boys. Stretcher bearers! Give me some stretcher bearers. Line cut.
Yes sir. Hold out the travel. Yes sir.
Move, move, move. Scanway. There's a message.
Colonel Robinson. There's a message. Oh! Major Barton, the attack must proceed.
Sir, I don't think you got the picture. They are being cut down before they can get five yards. Bloody line. Our marker flags have been seen in the Turkish trenches. The attack is continuing at all costs.
I repeat, the attack must proceed. Ready lad. Chicken, Marker flags? Who told you there were marker flags? I heard someone say they'd seen one, sir.
Who? Who? I'm not sure, sir.
Grey, you bloody idiot! Bloody got further than ten yards! Why don't you go above Robinson's head, sir?
Oh my god, die like a w- It does sound pointless to go on. On the other hand... Excuse me, sir. British are ashore at Suvla. Are they meeting heavy opposition?
None, sir. Apparently they've called a halt and the officers are sitting on the beach drinking cups of tea. Tell Major Barton the attack is.
No, just tell him that I'm reconsidering the whole situation. Sir. They're gonna make us go, are they? No, there's no point.
Marker flags have been seen. Not by me, sir. I've asked for confirmation from General Gardner.
The orders are to attack and you do so immediately. The British at Sylvester must be allowed to get ashore. Is that clear?
You are to push on. It's cold-blooded murder. I said push on. I don't ask the men to do what I wouldn't do myself. Alright men, we're going.
I want you all to remember who you are. You're the 10th light horse. Men from Western Australia.
Don't forget it. Good luck. You legs... Springs... Still springs.
What are they gonna do? They're gonna hold me down the track. How fast can you run? As fast as a leopard.
How fast are you gonna run? As fast as a leopard. Then let's see you do it!
Get away! Get away! Get in line!
