Description
This landmark publication commemorates the centenary of the Great War's Gallipoli campaign, 25 April 1915 to 9 July 1916. Australian War Memorial: Treasures of the Gallipoli Collections takes not only a military perspective, but also approaches the subject of Gallipoli in terms of its social impact and its role in commemoration and nation-building. Utilising the Memorial's immensely rich and varied National Collection, Australian War Memorial: Treasures of the Gallipoli Collections provides a tangible link to the ANZAC tradition and gives an unparalleled insight into its many facets. The legend and reality of ANZAC is encapsulated within the relics, photographs, artworks, documentary records, personal diaries and letters, that are displayed to dramatic and moving effect in a beautifully designed and produced commemorative volume.
