Aerial view over Anzac. This is not the same photograph published in the Official History of Australia in the War of 1914-18, Volume II, The Story of Anzac, by C.E.W. Bean, facing page 122 that also includes a detailed sketch of the positions occupied by the opposing forces. There is no evidence that this particular photograph was taken over Quinn's Post. This is one of a number of aerial photographs taken over the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915 by the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS). One of a series of 62 photographs acquired by C.E.W. Bean from a number of sources in the 1920s. None were taken by Bean, but acquired to augment his own photographs. All were registered in his personal (C.B.) series and carry a C.B. number. All were subsequently registered in the AWM G Series under one accession number, G01534, and use a series of alphabetic extensions, commencing with G01534A, to accommodate the 62 items.
