Gallipoli Visit and ANZAC Day

Here are some images from our visit to the peninsula and our dawn service and photos of the the peninsula from our ship.

The images you can see the Beach Cemetery, Elizabeth on ANZAC Cove, Lone Pine cemetery, the cemetery at Quinn's Post, the Turkish memorial to the Turkish 57th Regiment, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the Turkish Memorial of Chanak Bair and the cemetery at The Nek.  At The Nek imagine another 5 metres either side with steep drops either side...now imagine waves of 150 men attacking the Turkish trenches - a tiny area.









ANZAC Day and images from the ship and see the small distance they went. John Williamson and a sot of Suvla Bay to the north of the ANZAC landing.  The Lone Pine monument is the white spot in the middle of the photo directly above the memorial at ANZAC Cove (actually North Beach).







Australian warship offshore with us.
