Turkish Remembrance Day


Turkish Remembrance Day is the day before ANZAC Day, most of us when to this services and where made very welcome, the Turkish site is not far from Lone Pine, they are both on the 2nd ridge, the Turkish people lost hundreds of thousand soldiers, each one of the glass graves in this cemetery has sixty or more name on it and there are thousands of them.

  4. Beautiful pics ... have been in Izmir and Istanbul in the past ... I love think back to Turkey, land of the gentle people, as that's how I experienced that country. Safe trip home if you are still travelling. Love, cat.
