Overall, this was a very good series. For the most part, I thought this was a very realistic portrayal of the actual battle. There are little flaws and goofs here and there, (for instance soldiers smoking filtered cigarettes that didn't come into existence until the late 40s early 50s.), but I have a habit of spotting little details that are out of place more so than the average person. The actors portrayals of the historical characters was for the most part spot on. I did have issues with the accuracy of the soldiers in combat. There wasn't the shock and paralyzing fear that is common to soldiers engaged in combat for the first time. Additionally the post battle stress was not really portrayed well at all. Still, the series has a lot of merit and does represent the history of Galipoli well. I do recommend it!
