'The story, is of a hero who enlisted, and his brother, who thought so little of his liberty that he would not defend it. In a series, of wonderful visions, scenes striking him while at the races, surfing or cricket, he saw what thousands were suffering because of those who, like himself, had shirked. Many of the big scenes were taken at Liverpool, and - the men who participated were real soldiers–members of the First Australian Expeditionary Force, now at the Dardanelles. During the screening of this film at the Monarch Pictures to-morrow night Mr. Goodwin will sing "Your King and Country Need You" and "It's a Long Way to Tipperary."'

'The film is entitled "The Hero of the Dardanelles," and is the second of a series of pictures designed to assist the inducing men to enlist. The life of the soldiers in Liverpool camp is depicted, their subsequent entrainment and embarkation for Eygpt is shown, and "The Hero of the Dardanelles" is followed through the landing on the beach and over the rocky ridges right up to the time of his being wounded. Then he is seen back in Sydney at his wedding.'
