Australian troops withdrew from Gallipoli during the night of December 19-20, 1915, in a carefully planned operation known as the "Anzac evacuation." The withdrawal was executed with minimal casualties, relying on deception tactics to mislead the enemy about their departure. Troops were evacuated under the cover of darkness, using boats to transport them to ships waiting offshore. This strategic retreat marked the end of the Gallipoli campaign, which had been fraught with challenges and heavy losses for Allied forces.
