Description

"After the storm - wreckage on Anzac Beach. Railway buried in broken boxes. The shiny looking things are biscuit tins crumpled up by the waves." The storm caused extensive damage to the piers, drove many vessels ashore, and partially buried mule carts stationed at the beach. Image from the collection of Major Charles L. Mason, Royal Engineers, British Army.
