Retraining, Training, and Combat Experience

[pevergreen]

Gallipoli in WWI was a great example.

I disagree, the ANZACs simply had to take a beach where the Turkish forces had entrenched. It was a bad landing position, and not a good battle for the ANZACs but they still won...eventually.

Edit: Yeah it was not the British, it was the ANZACs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps)

As for a battle which reputation won, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Beersheba.

I never get tired of linking to that battle.

The light horsemen jumped the front trenches and dismounted behind the line where they turned and engaged the Turks with bayonets. The Turks were in many cases so demoralised that they quickly surrendered. One Australian who was dazed after having his horse shot from under him, recovered to find his five attackers with their hands up, waiting to be taken prisoner.
