Photos from Turkey

I hope this picture makes the water look cold. Because it sure looked cold when I was there in person. This is taken from the beach/shore at ANZAC cove in Gallipoli
The famous speech made by Prime Minister Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in 1934. Is now on this big plaque at Gallipoli
Our diggers made it from all the way down there, to all the way up here where I stood to take this photo, with enemy fire coming down on them.
A cemetary down by the water. Many graves remain un-named.
Majority of the dead were between 17-24. Really hits home how young they were, and how brave they were at such a young age.
