> 739,000        Gallipoli
> 118,000        Gallipoli 1915
>     1,360        "Johnny Turk" - few but interesting (note two n's)
>     5,540        "Chunuk Bair" - Especially special to NZ
>  58,300         ANZACS - good cross section
> 12,700         Gallipoli "Winston Churchill" - with good reason
