Completing the Gallipoli story: Researching Turkish Archives for a More Comprehensive History

澳大利亚和土耳其都认为加里波利战役是一个决定性的事件。澳大利亚人对这场运动的看法是基于C.E.W.Bean的官方历史和一些受欢迎的出版物。然而，尽管土耳其档案中保存着大量材料，但现有的记述很少关注土耳其的行动，导致故事不完整。该项目将通过查找和翻译关键文件--战场报告和信号、陆军部通信、战俘审讯记录、飞机日志和日记--来纠正这种不平衡。其结果将是一段全面的历史，在我们即将迎来这场运动的百年之际，这将有助于深化澳大利亚和土耳其之间的关系。

Both Australia and Turkey see the Gallipoli Campaign as a defining event. Australian perceptions of the Campaign are based on C.E.W. Bean's Official History and a number of popular publications. Yet, despite the vast collection of material held in Turkish archives, existing accounts give scant attention to Turkish operations leaving the story incomplete. This project will rectify that imbalance by locating and translating key documents-battlefield reports and signals, War Ministry communications, records of prisoner interrogations, aircraft logs and diaries. The result will be a comprehensive history that will contribute to the deepening relationship between Australia and Turkey as we approach the centenary of the Campaign.
