Gun Ridge, Gallipoli - WW1 - reverse
Whilst the following message is written on the reverse, from research shared by a military historian, there is no report of an 18 pounder gun ever being installed on Gun Ridge (known as Third Ridge) and as the wording "Gun Ridge" appears to have been written on the photo at a different time to the "Anzac 1915" wording, the locality of where this photograph was actually taken is not known.
Written on reverse: "This is a photo of one of our 18 pounder guns on Gun Ridge at Anzac. It was taken during one of the snow storms we had there. Every time we went into the trenches from our bivouac we had to pass in front of this. One morning as we were going up one of the chaps took this."
