Shaped initially by the imperatives of war-time, and the needs of the grief-stricken and the bereft, the memory of the Gallipoli campaign has been re-made time and again over the last century. For the Turks an inspirational victory, for many on the Allied side a glorious and romantic defeat, for others still an episode best forgotten, the memory of Gallipoli has meant different things to different people, serving by turns as an occasion of sincere and heartfelt
sorrow, an opportunity for separatist and feminist protest, and a formative influence in the forging of national identities.
