STORYLINE

A ceremony was held in Turkey on Sunday commemorating the 90th anniversary of the start of World War I's bloody Gallipoli campaign with leaders from Turkey, New Zealand, Australia and Britain in attendance.

More than 100,000 died in the failed allied bid to win a foothold in Turkey.

A minute's silence was observed at the Turkish memorial on the Gallipoli peninsula on Sunday - the beginning of two days of events.

Sunday's services honoured British, French and Turkish troops who died.

Some of the thousands of young Australians and New Zealanders who will attend the commemorations on Monday, the anniversary of the attack, were at Sunday's service.

Australian and New Zealand volunteers, known as ANZACs, formed the backbone of Allied landing forces that had aimed to capture Istanbul and open a supply line to Russia.

Monday marks 90 years from the day the troops stormed ashore at Suvla on the west coast of Turkey's Gallipoli peninsula.

But the Allies - intending to occupy Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman empire - failed to throw back the Turkish defenders and a long and bloody stalemate ensued.

More than 11,000 of them were killed in the campaign.
