EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the positions of Australian and New Zealand forces on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey during the First World War, specifically in July 1915. The map showcases the semi-circular foothold that these brave ANZAC soldiers held above Anzac Cove, strategically positioned as part of an unsuccessful campaign against Turkey by allied forces. Despite constant Turkish shelling and sniper fire, this very location served as a popular swimming beach for the ANZAC troops. It is remarkable to witness how even amidst the chaos and hardships of war, these courageous soldiers found solace and respite in such a serene coastal setting. Taken from "The Great World War - A History". Volume III, edited by Frank A Mumby, this historic image offers us a glimpse into one of the most significant theaters of war during that era. The gallant efforts made by these ANZAC forces are evident through their strategic positioning along this rugged coastline. As we reflect upon this photograph today, it serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought valiantly for their countries' causes. It also highlights how even in times of conflict, humanity can find moments of tranquility amidst turmoil. This print truly encapsulates both the geographical features of Gallipoli Peninsula and its historical significance within World War I's narrative.
