EDITORS COMMENTS
Our reserves stand ready, pith helmets in place, as they await the orders to advance towards their new positions on the rugged slopes of Cape Helles. This photograph captured by an English photographer in 1915 transports us back to a crucial moment during the Gallipoli Campaign. In this joint British and French operation that aimed to capture Constantinople, it was the first major battle undertaken by the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC). These brave soldiers from Britain are part of that historic endeavor. The image showcases a sense of anticipation mixed with determination on their faces. As they wait for their marching orders, one can only imagine the thoughts racing through their minds - thoughts of home, loved ones left behind, and perhaps even fears about what lies ahead. This snapshot freezes time amidst a war that engulfed nations across continents. It serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and courage exhibited by these troops who fought valiantly in World War I. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this composition while emphasizing the seriousness of their mission. The landscape surrounding them hints at both beauty and danger; nature's formidable challenge awaits them just beyond those slopes. Preserved within this private collection, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history - an enduring testament to those who served during 'the Great War. ' Let it serve as a tribute to all soldiers who have selflessly answered duty's call.
