Thanks Tinto, it is indeed stirring stuff, especially considering I have really only covered 6 days of the Gallipoli campaign.

The capture and garrisoning of Chunuk Bair was truly New Zealands finest hours of the Gallipoli campaign.
Its subsequent loss by the British, the wounded New Zealanders which littered it slopes that were left to die, and the blame wrongly placed on the gallant Colonel Malone by those most responsible for its loss, would sadly see it incorrectly entered into the early official histories as some of its darkest hours of the campaign.
