Description
View of Anzac Cove, looking towards Suvla Bay. A flying fox ran from the end of the jetty to the hill above and was used to transport heavy goods. The 7th Light Horse Regiment and the Canterbury Mounted Rifle Regiment, of New Zealand, were garrisoned on the Gallipoli Peninsula between December 1918 and January 1919. They began work on the cemeteries and war graves and carried out reconnaissance of the Gallipoli Peninsula in order to assess if there were any guns, dumps or stores not reported by Turkey.
