August 1915 - A Wellington regiment, tired and sick from prolonged duty, is ordered to
take Chunuk Bair, a hill in Gallipoli, Turkey. They take the hill after a lot of bloody fighting
and despite promised British support failing to arrive. When they get up there there seems
to be little else to do but come back down. The New Zealanders sustained huge loses in
this pointless operation, including their commanding officer, when a British navy ship fires
on the summit.
