Description

Gallipoli Peninsula, Turkey. c. 25 July 1915. This photograph depicts one of the many difficulties with which our troops were confronted on Gallipoli. Before bringing in troops for the big battle of August, it was necessary to provide stores of water. The great platform levelled for tanks above Anzac Cove are seen here, and troops are dragging tanks up the hill to get them into position.
