Abstract (2. Language): 
Human resource development (HRD) is noted for largely over-looking the study of history despite the potential contribution for the application of historical research to further understanding and shape the identity for the field. In contrast, the management field has a much stronger tradition for historical research with the military often selected as the context for in-depth historical studies of management. This paper seeks to respond to the call for historical research in HRD with an analysis of the Gallipoli Campaign fought in Turkey during World War I to examine potential lessons for HRD. The findings include a brief overview of the Gallipoli Campaign followed by an analysis of the lessons that could be drawn for HRD. The identified themes focus on lessons for strategy, leadership, and training. The discussion and conclusion provides a summary of the findings and makes recommendations for future historical studies in HRD.
