Gallipoli is an Australian-made miniseries, produced for the 100th anniversary of the ill-fated Gallipoli campaign and based on the non-fiction book by journalist Les Carlyon. Thomas "Tolly" Johnson, a 17 year old Australian, lies about his age so he can follow his older brother Bevan to war. With their mates Dave Klein and Cliff Sutton, they endure the eight month campaign, from landing at Anzac Cove, to the August Offensive, and finally the evacuation.
The following weapons can be seen in the miniseries Gallipoli:
The World War One model Luger P08 is used by Turkish officers. Light Horseman Henry "Stewie" Stewart Watson (Travis Jeffery) is seen with a captured one after a battle with Turkish soldiers.
The majority of Anzac soldiers carry the Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III rifle in the miniseries, including all four main characters. In Episode 4, The Deeper Scar, Thomas "Tolly" Johnson (Kodi Smit-McPhee) uses a Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk. III* with magnifying Galilean sights fixed for sniper duty. In Episode 7, The Earth Abides, the famous self-firing rifle designed by William Scurry (a .303 with a string attached to a trigger and a water bucket, causing the rifle to fire when the bucket empties) is seen set up during the evacuation.
Some Anzac soldiers carry the Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III* rifle, the simplified variant of the No.1 Mk.III with the magazine cutoff and volley sights removed.
Turkish soldiers use the Maxim MG08 in defense. It is seen in Episode 2 My Friend, The Enemy when Tolly charges the gun crew to save his brother, and Episode 5, The Breakout, against the Anzac offensive at Lone Pine and the Nek.
The improvised Jam Tin Grenade, made from empty jam or bully beef tins and filled with gunpowder or dynamite, is used by Anzacs, including Sergeant Harry Percival (Matt Nable).
The No. 15 Hand Grenade "Ball" is used by both Anzac and Turkish troops. Cliff Sutton (Tom Budge) throws several during a skirmish in Episode 3, A Man Alone.
