Corrections
An article yesterday about the Turkish Governments plans to open a peace park at the site of the Gallipoli campaign in World War I misstated the former position of Bill Hayden, an Australian who spoke of the bond that has grown among onetime adversaries at Gallipoli. He is a former Governor General, not a former Prime Minister. The map with the article located Gallipoli incorrectly, confusing it with another town with the same Turkish name, Gelibolu. The village that gave its name to the battle is about 125 miles southwest of Istanbul, not in southwest Turkey. A corrected map appears today on page A6..

GALLIPOLI
To the Editor: I have visited Turkey twice and I thoroughly enjoyed your April 13 articles on the country. My great-grandparents came from Istanbul. Speaking of Gallipoli: Landscape of Sacrifice, the museum there contains letters from youthful Turkish soldiers and at least one young British soldier. A letter from a Turkish law student, Hassan Ethem, praised the beauty of Gallipoli and the taste of the milk he received with his tea. He was killed a few days later. The Turkish cemetery contains an enormous statue of a soldier, a small prayer niche facing Mecca and a ritual bath for the feet. Each soldier has a flat stone memorial inscribed with his name, his town in Turkey and age at death. In most cases, the deceased are remembered only by first names. Few Turks had surnames until Kemal Ataturk required them in the early 1920s, when the reforms were imposed..

AUSTRALIAN GALLIPOLI
A YOUNG athlete takes a dare. A handsome runner in the first bloom of youth, he agrees to race barefoot against a bully on horseback, even though the odds are stacked hopelessly against him - and even though an important contest he has been training for is only days away. He cuts his feet badly while outrunning the hor e, but not even the bruises can lessen his bravado. So when the day of the major race arrives, he runs triumphantly. And when he decides, on this same day, to enlist in the army, he does so with the same reckless, buoyant self-confidence that induced him to compete with the horse and to court disaster. Peter Weirs Gallipoli, which opens today at the Baronet, follows this young Australian and others like him to the fateful World War I battle of the title. Beginning with the footrace, and ending with the amphibious military maneuver that proved so catastrophic for the British and Australian forces, the film approaches the subject of war so obliquely that it cant properly be termed a war movie. Besides, it is prettier than any war film has ever been, which makes its emotional power something of a surprise. Mr. Weirs work has a delicacy, gentleness, even wispiness that would seem not well suited to the subject. And yet his film has an uncommon beauty, warmth and immediacy, and a touch of the mysterious, too.
