Short story:
During the First World War, a British fleet off the Gallipoli
Peninsula, Turkey, Europe, begins an almost continuous bombardment of Battleship Hill, which marks the start of what will come to be known as

forces make amphibious landings on the Gallipoli peninsula. The
2011 song On
Battleship Hill by P.J. Harvey, is about this conflict.
