Gallipoli Battlefield Tour

Prior to Anzac Day we took a  tour of the areas so we were aware of the ‘lay of the land’. Thıs proved  worthwhile as we got a Turkish perspective on the events of 1915  from our guide and it helped that we knew where everything was, come the 24th and 25th.

We also found the name of a relatıve of Rıchard’s Great Grandfather’s cousin Charles Pacey on the memorıal wall at Chunuk Bair.
