    Dr. Damien Fenton, a military historian from Massey University, will give a talk for the Porirua Historical Association about bursting myths around the ANZAC legend of the Gallipoli campaign. He will reveal who the ANZACs were actually fighting, why the campaign went badly for New Zealand and Australian troops, and explore the overlooked perspective of the Ottoman soldiers, including many Arab conscripts, and why their role has been whitewashed from popular histories of the campaign in Australia, New Zealand, and modern Turkey. The talk will take place on Sunday, July 12th at 4pm at the Porirua Club.

    Porirua Historical Association

    presents a talk by Dr Damien Fenton

    Gallipoli - Bursting the Myths


    of the ANZAC legend

    Dr Damien Fenton, from Massey University, Wellington, is a Military


    historian and the author of New Zealand and the First World War

    1914-1919.

    He presents a public lecture on the nine month Gallipoli campaign,


    that reveals who the ANZACS were fighting at Gallipoli and why?
    And why did the ill-fated campaign go so badly wrong for our boys?
    It is a story from the other side of the coin - that of the Ottomans,
    many of them Arab soldiers conscripted from Syria and Palestine.
    Why has their side of the story been whitewashed from the history
    of the campaign in popular imagination in New Zealand and Australia,
    and also in the modern Republic of Turkey?

    Sunday 12th July 2015 4.00 pm


    Porirua Club, Lodge Place, Porirua
