While the Australians and New Zealanders are struggling to come ashore at Anzac Cove, the British are landing at Cape Helles, on the southern toe of the Gallipoli peninsula. But once again, the Turkish defenders put up a stiff resistance that far exceeds their small numbers. Can the British get ashore in the face of this withering fire?

In the third episode of our special series on the Gallipoli campaign, Pete is joined by historian Mat McLachlan to tell the story of the landings at Cape Helles.

It's March, 1915. Turkey has entered the war on Germany's side and promptly closed the Dardanelles strait, closing off a vital sea route for our Russian allies. Britain and France decide to take decisive action - they will send a fleet to Gallipoli and storm the Dardanelles!

Armed with a half-baked plan, 16 obsolete warships and little idea of the formidable Turkish defences, the navy was determined to steam to Constantinople and victory. What could possibly go wrong?

In the first episode of a special series on the Gallipoli campaign from our sister podcast, Living History, Pete joins historian Mat McLachlan to tell the story of the disastrous naval battle of March 18, 1915.
