'Weekend Warriors' - a weekend in the New Zealand Army Reserve

I had the massive honour of spending a week at Gallipoli in the lead up to the Anzac Centenary, broadcasting my experiences on ABC radio. 
I wanted to retrace the steps of the New Zealanders who fought their way up Rhododendron Ridge and towards the heights of Chunuk Bair. I could cover all the amazing stories, history and detail of that battle. But this is some of my reflections.
