What if the Anzacs won at Gallipoli?

The French landed at Kum Kale (Kum Kalesi on your map), as a diversion on 25/4/15 to stop the Ottoman artillery on the Asian side shooting into the rear of the 29th Division. They were successful in that, and in shooting down the first Turks to arrive, but the guns at Kum Kale had already been captured/destroyed by Royal Marine landings in Feb 1915. There were no landings further north on the Asian side, and this was not an attempt to capture the forts. The French successfully withdrew the next day, ironically they later suffered heavily holding the right of the Helles position from the Ottomans shelling their rear.
THX a lot for this bit of info. :)
