Britain's Queen Elizabeth lays a wreath during a service to commemorate Anzac Day and the centennial of the Battle of Gallipoli at the Cenotaph war memorial in central London on Saturday, April 25. A century ago, Allied troops came ashore at Gallipoli in modern Turkey at the start of an ill-fated land campaign to take the Dardanelles Strait from the Ottoman Empire. The disastrous World War I battle began on April 25, 1915, and pitted troops from Australia, Britain, France and New Zealand against the Ottoman forces backed by Germany.
