Unloading supplies at Anzac Cove, Gallipoli, Turkey, 1915

    This is not Anzac Cove, but W beach at the south of the peninsula. Anzac Cove was a much more confined space with just a strip of narrow beach. After that the land rises steep to a plateau. This gave Anzac Cove protection against Turkish artillery fire. W-beach is a much more open space with a V shaped beach at the end of a gully. Nowadays you can reach this beach even with a touring car. The remnants of the piers can still be seen along the waterfront. www.flickr.com/photos/hansderegt/3411651456/in/set-721576...

    Can't imagine being a photographer on that beach!
    The equipment was big and heavy and there was not a lot of help with getting the shot right. Youhad to know what you were doing.
    Some of these images are just amazing.

    There is only one officer with the name Bridges in the official records — that of Major General Sir William Throsby Bridges. He died on 18 May, 1915, 24 days after this photograph was taken, of wounds received at sea. General Bridges was the only soldier whose body was brought back to Australia for burial.
