I have been looking forward to talking to an anzac granddaughter or son,but wasn't able to get any answer to my mails and messages,unfortunately. :( If anyone of you could write me about your days in turkey,especially in gallipoli,I will appreciate! from now on, it does not matter to talk to an anzac granddaughter or son;only an australian girl or boy will also help me so much in this research..because my lecturer values your thoughts so much,so do I. I will be waiting for any answer..thnx hello friends,I am from turkey.I am studying at university and doing a research on the anzacs.
