Barak presented the background to the battle and explained the strategy, by moving us through the topography from The Dardanelles at Kilitbahir, culminating at the highest hill of the area Chunuk Bair. He progressively added more detail, historical figures and statistics, including both teh Turkish and British viewpoint. His presentation was engaging and illuminating. These facts were were balanced with a jovial approach in recognition of the emotional stirring arising in some of us, (visiting for relatives who served, were wounded or killed.) Absolutely Fabulous.
