8000 Announcement Australian Australians Cemetery Gallipoli Join Lives Lost Rushed
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the Cemetery for Australian Officers at Gallipoli, a solemn testament to the brave Australians who lost their lives during the Gallipoli Campaign in 1915. As part of the British Empire, Australia responded swiftly to the announcement of war in August 1914, with over 80,000 Australians enlisting by October. By December of that year, 21,000 had embarked for the Middle East, eager to join the fight against the Ottoman Empire. The Gallipoli Campaign, which began on April 25, 1915, was a costly and ultimately unsuccessful attempt by the Allied forces to control the Dardanelles Straits and secure a sea route to Russia. The harsh terrain and brutal conditions took a heavy toll on the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), with over 8,000 Australians losing their lives by the time the campaign ended in January 1916. This image, taken in the 7th month of the campaign, on July 15, 1915, shows the graves of some of the fallen Australian officers, neatly arranged in rows. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men and the historical significance of the Gallipoli Campaign in shaping the Australian identity. The image is part of the Illustrated London News (ILN) collection from Mary Evans Prints Online and is a valuable historical resource for anyone interested in the history of World War I and the Australian experience during the war.
