The Sphinx seen from below, Gallipoli, Turkey, 1915

  The Sphinx at Gallipoli – Then and Now (94 years later)
  
  Almost a century later, The Sphinx looks down on hallowed ground.
  
  The panels along the memorial wall show maps of the campaign as well as quotes from soldiers and political leaders.

  “I am prepared for death and hope that God will have forgiven me all my sins.”
  — Lieutenant Colonel William Malone, New Zealand soldier, in a letter to his wife before he was killed defending the position his battalion had seized on the summit of Chunuk Bair.

  A large memorial cemetery[ 1 ] is also located here.

Australian soldiers in the trenches at Lone Pine, Gallipoli, August 1915

from State Library of Queensland

• sixpounder said:

  The weapon in the image is a Rifle Number I, Mark III, Short Magazine Lee Enfield (SMLE) modified with a remote trigger and prism mirror sight to allow the shooter to use the existing iron sights and not expose the head above the parapet. All armies used a variation on this theme in the trenches themselves, though designated marksmen and actual snipers moved further back to "hides" and used telescopic sights beginning in 1915. .

• State Library of Queensland said:

  Thanks, sixpounder. We will add this information to our catalogue record for this image.
