Description
Gallipoli Peninsula, Turkey. October 1915. A trench on the Razor Back overlooking White Valley, held for a time by the Turks on 25 April 1915. There were a few scattered trenches similar to this in the scrub but the Turks seldom attempted to defend them. Many of the trenches were well constructed and often hidden with brushwood. This material, when dry, turned brown, the result being that a dry, brown line through the scrub always indicated a trench.
