A DUEL in the sky by bi-planes was the highlight of May Day activities at Fareham's Fort Nelson.
Visitors to the Royal Armouries were treated to amazing aerial acrobatics as staff at the fort recreated the feel of 1915.
They could also meet British "Tommies", German "Fritzes" and American "doughboys" and find out how Fort Nelson served in the Great War.
Marking the 90th anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign, the event was packed with firepower displays, galloping cavalry and horse-drawn artillery.
There was marching galore from the infantry as well as a display of weapons, Great War vehicles and artefacts dug up from the battlefields.
Drama came from actors presenting different views of World War I in the words of characters such as Neil Fratzer-Tytler, the man who relished killing, and decorated war poet and anti-war campaigner Siegfried Sassoon.
