(The Ottoman Empire had entered World War I on the side of the Central Powers, Germany and Austria-Hungar… On 5 July the last major attack of this battle commenced but met with a very strong wall of fire the Allies put up. This interactive diagram shows the number of fatal and non-fatal casualties for Allied and Ottoman forces during the Gallipoli campaign (April 1915–January 1916).. Liman Paşa agreed to delay the attack for 24 hours only after a Major Eggert on the staff of Mehmet Ali Paşa personally appealed to him.

After the counter-attacks ceased, the front line stabilised and remained largely static for the rest of the Gallipoli campaign although both sides engaged in a vigorous mining war around the ravine.

By taking over the strait, invading Contantinople and threatening it's citizens with weaponry, the Allies were hoping the people would go into a state of panic and surrender, thus eliminating the Ottoman Empire (today Turkey) from the list of enemies. Hard biscuits, unappetising jam and tinned bully beef was the staple diet and many became fed up with its limited range. The third battle of Krithia on 4 June had made some progress in the centre of the line at Helles but had failed on the left flank (west) along Gully Spur and Gully Ravine and on the right flank (east) where the French contingent were confronted by a number of strong Ottoman redoubts on Kereves Spur. The artillery fire on Gully Spur was overwhelming and the 2/10th Gurkha Rifles and the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers advanced rapidly a distance of half a mile to a point named "Fusilier Bluff" which was to become the northern-most Allied position at Helles. This minor gain was cause of much celebration for allies who were at that point very anxious for any good news. Hunter-Weston had one final fling at Helles. From their point of view, the campaign was a disaster. In 1915, the Russians requested for help from Britain to help confront the Turkish invasion. As well, an estimated total of 664 Australian officers and 17,260 men were wounded. About 480,000 Allied troops took part in the Gallipoli campaign, including substantial British, French, Senegalese, Australian, New Zealand and Indian troops. Finally the slaughter was stopped. A particularly debilitating aspect of service at Gallipoli was the widespread presence of illness and disease, especially dysentery. On the right of the advance, along Fir Tree Spur, the battle did not go so well for the British. Captain Kemal Bey commanding the troops from the line of fire was wounded and died the next day. The Battle of Gallipoli, also known as the Gallipoli Campaign, was a battle of World War I that was fought on the Gallipoli peninsula.
