Action
The 3rd Australian Brigade landed at Anzac Cove on April 25, 1915 and successfully reached the summit on the morning of the landing. It was driven off the summit in a Turkish counterattack in the afternoon. Allied forces made several attempts to recapture it over the following months, with major assaults on May 2 and August 7, but it remained in Turkish control for the rest of the campaign.

Famous quotes containing the word action:
“This nation asks for action, and action now.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“I feel like a white granular mass of amorphous crystals—my formula appears to be isomeric with Spasmotoxin. My aurochloride precipitates into beautiful prismatic needles. My Platinochloride develops octohedron crystals,—with a fine blue florescence. My physiological action is not indifferent. One millionth of a grain injected under the skin of a frog produced instantaneous death accompanied by an orange blossom odor.”
—Lafcadio Hearn (1850–1904)
