Gallipoli

It started with an assassination.
Countries fighting for domination.
They were told who to fight.
Even though they knew it wasn't right.
Many were injured, and countless men died.
The world was devastated, and so the world cried
So many innoncent lives were lost.
But at what cost?
Even though you are all gone.
Your memory still lives on.
There adventure soon turning into deep regret.
Those brave soldiers lest we forget.
