On 25 April 1915, British/ANZAC offensive failed. The Turkish commander charging counteroffensive was certain Mustafa Kemal, who got promoted to colonel because of this. It was the beginning of his stellar career.

For those who did not recognize the character, he was later known as Mustafa Kemal Pasha a.k.a. Ataturk .
