Chapter Twelve - The Turks
As the days and weeks wore on, respect between the Turks and the Anzacs for each others' bravery and tenacity grew. Small but significant events illustrated the changes in the soldiers' attitudes. Some Turkish defenders around Quinn's Post tasted chocolate for the first time when Anzacs threw some of their rations instead of grenades. The Turks reciprocated with tomatoes and apples. One day a white handkerchief tied to a bayonet appeared in the Turkish lines. A small boy dashed out unhindered and ran to the Anzac trenches, dropped some bags and ran back. When the Anzacs opened the bags, they found fine-cut tobacco with a note saying, 'I tobacco ... you papier every day, every day.' The Anzacs responded in kind. They scrounged all the paper they could - old letters, newspapers, some 'rollies' (cigarette papers) - and tossed them over. For a brief moment amid the bloodshed, there was an unofficial ceasefire as both sides contentedly puffed away.
The hills of Gallipoli overlooking the Narrows today which show the image of a Turkish soldier made from white stones, with words which translate as "Traveller, halt! The soil you tread once withnessed the end of a generation. Listen in this quiet mound there once beat the heart of a nation."
