Old Gallipoli's a Wonderful Place

DESCRIPTION: "Old Gallipoli's a wonderful place, Where the boys in the trenches the foe have to face, But they never grumble, they smile through it all, Very soon they expect Achi Baba to fall." They don't expect success "Where old Gallipoli sweeps down to the sea"
