This song is about the Battle of Gallipoli from WWI. It took place between April 1915 and January 1916, and was an effort from the British Empire (mostly French and Australians) to capture Constantinpole (today this is the city of Istanbul). They did not sucseed and both sides suffered heavy losses. It is named after the Gallipoli peninsula.
The song focuses mainly on the heavy losses suffered for no reason (from the band's perspective) and how dead soldiers are no longer enemies, but rememberd as heroes.
@Tarciryan I believe the offensive was actually to be used primarily as a distraction, that was divide the forces of the Turkish more so than actually to prevail victorious. The Battle of Gallipoli is one of the most important battles in Australian history, with us remember the day each year as ANZAC Day. Australia's national "remembrance" day.
