The company as part of the Royal Military College – Duntroon (RMC-D) was established in 1954 and is currently the longest existing company. Gallipoli Company functions as a family oriented environment, often holding functions in the Gallipoli courtyard for company members and their loved ones. These events provide opportunities to establish well-rounded friendships both inside and outside the work environment.
After the hard work and fundraising of Gallipoli Company members they have established a blue gazebo and attained gym equipment in their outdoor area. They also hold functions in their common room, named the Fussell Room after Michael Fussell. The Fussell Room is also home to the Gallipoli museum, which contains many souvenirs and valuables from World War I.
