205. Gallipoli

[Taken by JHM, Anzac Cove, Gallipoli, Turkey]

From, “ANZAC Day dawn services,” NineMSN News, 4/25/12:

Thousands of Australians rose early to pay respect to the nation's fallen diggers in Anzac Day dawn services around the country this morning.

It is 97 years since Australian soldiers stormed the beaches of Gallipoli early on the morning of 25 April, 1915.

A father who has brought his children to every dawn service but one in the last 15 years summed up the mood: "I always have a tear in the eye by the end of the service."

Gallipoli is a peninsula located in Turkish Thrace, the European part of Turkey, with the Aegean sea to the West and the Darndenelle straits to the East.
