Description
View of Courtney's Post (centre), taken from German Officers trench looking north, a Turkish telephone pole is in the centre on the edge of a cliff at Courtney's Post. The monument on sky line (centre) is on Russell's Top. Pope's Hill is directly below the monument. The bare space in the right centre is Deadman's Ridge between Pope's and Quinn's Posts, this position was held by the Turks and overlooked Monash Gully and is supposed to be the spot from where General Bridges was shot in May, 1915. The road seen in the centre foreground was made by the Turks after the evacuation. This is the left hand image in a two part panorama. See G01762P for the combined image. One of a series of photographs taken on the Gallipoli Peninsula under the direction of Captain C E W Bean of The Australian Historical Mission, during the months of February and March, 1919.
