The Gallipoli Peninsula in 1989
In 1981 together with some of my mates I went to the
pictures/movies in Frankston Victoria Australia to see the Film "Gallipoli" . I have always had an interest in Military history (especially Australian Military history) but that movie started an interest that has been with me ever since. In 1989 together with my mate Mike Barnes we flew to Istanbul , hired a car and drove down to Gallipoli for the ANZAC day service. We managed to Visit ANZAC , Helles and Suvla and most areas in between These are the photos I took on that trip , It hard to believe it was 30 years ago... Since then I have visited every battlefield in France and Belgium where the AIF (Australian Imperial Force) were involved and also the camps where they were based in the South of England. Please do have a look at the rest of the photos in the album. Best wishes "MO"
