Re: Gallipoli all over again.
Thats not really Gallipoli. Your problem was you made a mistake with your own troops. The real Gallipoli was troops being sacrificed to the incompetence of an allies command (WC)

Re: Gallipoli all over again.
sacrificed against highly motivated and skilled truoops. The Turkish troops really beat up on the Allied troops. Even if the leadership was better the Allied troops would not have beaten the Turkish troops. They were very good soldiers. It was a very important victory for the Turkish.

Re: Gallipoli all over again.
I do not deny the Turkish were good. Here in Australia we consider the turkish honourable and worthy opponents who beat us, and don't forget they were led by the guy who went on to be the father of his nation (can't fight destiny). Its just things like the British sending us to the wrong beach.

Re: Gallipoli all over again.
Just like the Canadians at Dieppe. Poor planning by the British superior officers.

Was it? I thought it was due to underestimation of german defenses in Dieppe by Allied Commanders, resulting in a massacre.
