Description
A view of Anzac Cove soon after the landing. A 6 inch 30 cwt howitzer and a collection of broken rifles are in the foreground; to the right are the flags marking the Casualty Clearing Station. In the middle distance a couple of water carts have been parked in the water. Boxes of stores are being unloaded from a barge, against a pier. Original inscription reads: "Anzac Cove. A shell torn strip of beach". One of a collection of photographs thought to be taken by 440 Trooper (Tpr) Arthur Lovett, 3rd Light Horse Regiment. Tpr Lovett enlisted as a 20 year old bank clerk from Hobart, Tasmania. He served at Gallipoli until August 1915, when he was evacuated sick to England. In December 1915 he was granted a commission in the British Army.
