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:
