Pete and Gary revisit one of their favourite topics in this special series - Gallipoli!

Today it's the landing at Suvla Bay, the bold Allied gamble to outflank the Turks and open up a new front on the peninsula. But what a missed opportunity, as poor British leadership, tough terrain and dogged resistance from the Turks leave the British forces trapped on the low ground and the Turks hemming them in.
