The Gallipoli (Dardanelles4) Campaign in 1915 included significant contributions in men, mules, and material by the (British) Indian Army. Over 16,000 Indian Army combatants and non-combatants were deployed in the campaign, initially with the British 29 Division in the Helles Sector of the Dardanelles peninsula, and later with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) in the Anzac Sector for the 'August Offensive'. The Indian Army comprised the 29 Indian Infantry Brigade, 7 Indian Mountain Artillery Brigade with two Mountain Batteries, the Indian Mule Corps, and two Field Ambulances which included a Hospital Ship. Approximately 1600 Indians sacrificed their lives and over 3000 were casualties. A memorial in Australia to acknowledge and honour the contributions and sacrifices of the 16,000 Indian Army combatants and non-combatants in the campaign is the right thing to do.
