Gallipoli, from the Chanak side
Description
In 1919 George Lambert accompanied the Australian Historical Mission to Gallipoli. He painted this from Chanak looking towards Gallipoli. He wrote: "I have managed to make four sketches, quite passable, of points of interest but we look ever towards Anzac & I am glad to say we start for Kilid Bahr the fort on the Peninsular side today & go into camp on the ground."
