One interesting account from the Australian point of view, they were involved at Gallipoli as well, is an early Mel Gibson film Gallipolli.  It shows some of the horrors that befell the troops that were trying to attack the Turks.

It's an interesting battle, just another sad blunder from WWI.
Researching the whole war makes a good read.
