| Summary: | The first extract is a wide slow left to right pan of Anzac Cove taken from a high point (26 sec). The second extract shows a large group British troops waiting on a beach possibly at Sulva Bay (24 sec). This footage is believed to have been shot by Mr. Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett, the English journalist who gave Australia its first description of the ANZAC troops at Gallipoli. His colourful and stirring accounts of Australian soldiers' bravery, particularly of their landing at ANZAC Cove, helped give rise to the legend of Anzac. Bartlett filmed live action in and around Anzac Cove from July to September 1915, and the resulting footage, screened in 1916 under the title "With the Dardanelles Expedition : Heroes of Gallipoli", (AWM film F00069) was an instant success with audiences in England and Australia. A print of this film was acquired by the Memorial in 1919. However the "new" footage shown here was not a part of the film as it currently stands. It was discovered as an unidentified film segment within a compilation of footage related to the First World War , sold to the Memorial in 1938, and since had been known as the A H Noad film (AWM F00176). Alexander Henry Noad, the former owner of the footage, was unable to shed light on its origins. | ||
