Dual-source · Gallipoli pipeline

Gallipoli landing audit

Exact count of soldiers whose embarkation ship appears in two online sources and belongs to the Gallipoli pipeline (Crawford & Buck). Source A is Online Cenotaph. Source B is the Navy Museum troopship list. A green on The Anzacs Roll Call means that dual match for a Gallipoli-relevant sailing. Dual-audited travellers are embarkation proof, not a per-man landing certificate. Exact dual-source total: 23,053 travellers. The Anzacs Roll Call Gallipoli campaign census: 22,479. Published peninsula landings: about 16,000 to 18,000.

Dual-source gate. Source A = Online Cenotaph cites this HMNZT. Source B = the same ship and sailing on the Navy Museum troopships list. A sailing earns a dual tick only when both sources confirm it and it is Gallipoli-pipeline (departure on or before 31 Oct 1915, Samoa excluded), matching the Crawford & Buck / Phenomenal & Wicked embarkation frame.

Exact dual-audited total counts unique Cenotaph soldiers who cite at least one dual-ticked HMNZT. That is travel on a Gallipoli-pipeline ship. It is not the same as “landed on Gallipoli” (published landing estimate about 16,000 to 18,000). Unmatched / other ship covers men with no HMNZT, or an HMNZT outside the dual Gallipoli set.

Short counted (no HMNZT on this roll) stay separate and softer-worded; we are not saying why the ship is missing. Isolate them on The Anzacs Roll Call → Short counted.
