A painting by English artist Charles Dixon (1872-1934), showing troops from the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) on April 15th, 1915, loping up the beach to the cliffs at Sari Baira. They were a little east of their intended position at Gaba Tepe, up close to the Turkish line on the northern side of the slim Gallipoli Peninsula. That was just as well, as Gaba Tepe was easier to climb but dangerously exposed. The area became known as Anzac Cove in tribute to the 8,500 Australians and 2,721 New Zealanders who died in the Gallipoli campaign.
