Description
Gallipoli, Dardanelles, Turkey, c. 1915-05-21. An Australian soldier (right) leading a blindfolded Turkish envoy mounted on a horse, along the beach at Gallipoli. The envoy has been sent by the Turks to arrange a brief armistice or truce with the Australians, so that the two sides can recover their wounded and bury their dead lying in No Man's Land after a costly and abortive Turkish attack on 1915-05-19.
