Description

Gallipoli, Turkey, 1915. Simple wooden crosses and headstones mark the graves of dead Australian soldiers in a rudimentary cemetery on a barren slope above Victoria Gully (not in view). Discarded packing cases lie over what may be a dugout under construction among the graves(right), while tins and boxes lie on the ground further up the hillside.
