    - Documentary (https://www.nzonscreen.com/title/gallipoli-the-new-zealand-story-1984?collection=anzac-day)

    One of the things we try to do in history is to develop empathy for the people we study — that is, to try to put ourselves in other peopleʼs position and understand what it was like for them.

    Of course, that is very hard to do — especially for something like a war, when most of us do not really know what it is like to be in that situation. Nor can we fully comprehend how the soldiers of 1915 were thinking about their role and responsibilities.

    But this is why we use evidence from the time — to listen to what people who were there said, how they behaved, what they felt and saw.

    Your task is to understand what it must have been like to be a soldier serving at Gallipoli.
