04.09.2004 - 01.10.2004 - Main Production in Gallipoli. A production team of 40 travelled to Gallipoli and Chanakkale for the main shoot. Scenics and interviews were shot on the first week and the crew began shooting the reenactments on the second week. The landings and trench life of the soldiers were recreated on specially built sets on the Channakkale side. More than 90 extras took part in the dramatic renenactments. Special effects experts rigged the sets with explosives for scenes depicting shell fire and explosions in the trench. Almost all seasons including snow were recreated in the trenches.

Families of Bill Leadley, Percival Fenwick, and George Bollinger and experts were interviewed on camera for the film. The research team also finalized its work in the Australian War Memorial, which gave the film immense support in all departments.

Three film crews were organized in three different countries; New Zealand, Australia and Turkey to shoot the ceremonies on location.
