EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw and unyielding spirit of the Anzac troops during the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I. Dated 1915, the image depicts the Anzacs as they make their way towards the Krithia heights, storming the enemy lines near Constantipole. The soldiers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms and armed with rifles and bayonets, can be seen fighting amongst the rugged terrain of the cliffs and hills. The view from the photograph offers a glimpse into the harsh and unforgiving landscape that the Anzacs faced as they battled against the Ottoman forces. The Krithia heights held strategic importance for both sides, as they represented a key position in the larger campaign to control the Gallipoli peninsula. The Anzacs, a collective term for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, had suffered heavy losses in their previous attempts to gain a foothold in the area. However, their determination and resilience are evident in this image as they press on, undeterred by the enemy fire and the treacherous terrain. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Anzac troops during the Gallipoli Campaign. It also serves as a powerful symbol of the courage and tenacity that defined the Anzac spirit, which continues to be celebrated in both Australia and New Zealand as a defining moment in their shared history. The image is also a testament to the enduring power of photography as a means of documenting and preserving historical events, providing us with a valuable window into the past.
