In other words, as can be clearly seen from memoirs, diaries and letters of the Turkish and allied soldiers, each side othered the other side and with rooted prejudice, antagonism, and cultural solipsism, ignored to recognize each other’s real identity. Especially the British and Anzac soldiers depicted the Turkish identity in their writings in the traditional antagonistic manner.Also, some oriental colouring was added to the representation of the Turkish identity. However, in time, as a result of the cultural experiences shared on the battlefield, this prejudice was turned into not only mutual respect to each other but also respect to their own nation by the Anzacs. So, the purpose of this article is to discuss and demonstrate, on the basis of memoirs, diaries and letters as primary material, how the war at Gallipoli was also metaphorically a war of identities, especially between the Turkish and Anzac soldiers.}, number={15}, publisher={Hacettepe Üniversitesi}
