Chapter 6
Conclusion  

The Battle of Gallipoli was undoubtedly a defeat for the forces of the British Empire, but has always been more remembered by the Australians as a defeat, but a heroic one.  It was a baptism of fire for the majority of volunteers of the Australian Imperial Forces, and even though they lost less men than either the French or the British during the campaign, it has always been associated more with the Anzacs.  
The Battle of Gallipoli saw the end of many careers, including that of General Hamilton who was blamed by many for the defeat, for delegating too much of the decision making to his subordinates who were clearly not up to the job.  Winston Churchill’s career was ended for a time,

Taken from Hickey, M, Gallipoli

This 8th battalion, which with the exception of a brief but disastrous spell at the other Gallipoli battlefield at Cape Helles during May 1915, spent the entire campaign on the battlefields at Anzac Cove, where it had landed on the morning of the 25th of April.  Willie however was wounded in the leg on the first day at Anzac, and must have been an early casualty as he was lucky in being returned to Egypt, although this trip took the best part of five days, where he was treated at the Heliopolis General Hospital.  This was based in a luxury hotel that had been commandeered as a Hospital for Australian troops, before they even left Egypt, or the landings took place.
