IF STONES COULD SPEAK - ANZAC
Last updated : 01/03/08

From late April till early May the Anzacs did got support from the Royal Navy.
Obviously not without a price as Charles Bean noted in the official history
(p. 116) :
..
The two British naval brigades left Anzac immediately for Helles, thus
enabling the Royal Navy Division to be at last reformed. Young and but
partly trained, thrown without preparation into a terrible struggle,
overtried, gallantly but often needlessly exposing themselves, they had
suffered heavily, and their dead lay thickly among the Australians and New
Zealanders upon those dreadful heights.
