| Summary: | Gallipoli lies at the gates to the East and just a few miles north of the ancient City of Troy. For just a short time in early 1915, it seemed that this place held the key to an imagined world beyond. It did not, and the only true victors were the Turks. For the British, it was a dreadful defeat with no consolation, while for the Australians and New Zealanders, it was a defining moment in their journey to national identity. Today, the battlefield is almost untouched by time, a lonely and haunted place, remote under an idyllic Aegean sky. Evocative and richly atmospheric photographs of the Gallipoli Peninsula's battlefields today. |
