The attacks at Krithia in the Spring and Summer of 1915 were possibly the low point of the ill-fated Gallipoli campaign. In this short clip we hear from one of the participants - Harry Biles - who was part of the Royal Naval Division which attacked at Krithia as part of the Gallipoli campaign.

This clip is part of an hour long 'virtual tour' that is available for members of The Western Front Association entitled 'To bite and to hold: The Royal Naval Division at Krithia 1915'. 

This Virtual Tour is available for members to watch in its entirety by logging into the members' area of the WFA's website.
