Bravery Awards at Gallipoli

: 1 of 8.; The Lone Pine Memorial to the Missing, Lone Pine, Anzac area, Gallipoli. This memorial stands at the southern end of the Lone Pine Cemetery and commemorates by name more than 4,900 Anzacs - Australians and New Zealanders - who died during the Gallipoli campaign and have 'no known grave'. The memorial is in two parts-the limestone pylon at the back and a memorial wall part of which is visible down the steps.
The 708 names of the missing soldiers of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force are listed in two recesses set into the limestone pylon with the Christian cross in relief on four sides. Four separate memorials at Gallipoli record the names of the New Zealand missing of the Gallipoli campaign-Hill 60, Chunuk Bair, Lone Pine and Helles. The New Zealanders commemorated at Lone Pine here are those who died before the 'August offensive' which began on 6 August 1915.
The entrance at the front of the pylon leads into a small room in which the Lone Pine visitors' book is kept. Set above the entrance is the coat of arms of the United Kingdom of Great Britain; the coats of arms of the Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand are set into the two recesses at either side of the entrance.
On the wall down the steps to the front of the pylon are the 4,228 names of the missing of the AIF (Australian Imperial Force).

: 2 of 8.; A group of Australians at the Lone Pine Memorial, 24 April 2004. Of recent years thousands of Australians and New Zealanders have been making their way to Gallipoli for the commemorative services held there on 25 April (Anzac Day) - the Dawn Service at the Anzac Commemorative Site (North Beach), the Australian service at the Lone Pine Cemetery and Memorial and the New Zealand service at the Chunuk Bair Memorial. Visit the Department of Veterans' Affairs website for more information on these services.

: 3 of 8.; The wall at the Lone Pine Memorial which records the names of the Australian missing of the Gallipoli campaign. The wall is arranged by military unit and names are recorded by rank within units. Unlike the practice at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, bravery awards such as the Military Medal (MM) or Distinguished Service Medal (DCM) are shown beside a medal recipient's name. Thus Alfred Shout of the 1st Battalion is shown as 'Captain A J Shout VC MC' (Victoria Cross, Military Cross).

: 4 of 8.; The central inscription on the wall at the Lone Pine Memorial which reads:
TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN LASTING MEMORY OF 3,268 AUSTRALIAN SOLDIERS WHO FOUGHT ON GALLIPOLI IN 1915 AND HAVE NO KNOWN GRAVES AND 456 NEW ZEALAND SOLDIERS WHOSE NAMES ARE NOT RECORDED IN OTHER AREAS OF THE PENINSULA BUT WHO FELL IN THE ANZAC AREA BUT HAVE NO KNOWN GRAVES AND ALSO OF 960 AUSTRALIANS AND 252 NEW ZEALANDERS WHO FIGHTING ON GALLIPOLI IN 1915 INCURRED MORTAL WOUNDS OR SICKNESS AND FOUND BURIAL AT SEA.
It should be remembered that the British gave different names to the three areas of the Gallipoli peninsula which they held during the Gallipoli campaign. Anazc was the area immediately inland of Anzac Cove. Suvla was the region north of Anzac captured after the landings of 6 August 1915 and Helles the area on the tip of the peninsula around Cape Helles.

: 5 of 8.; The bottom third of Panel 59 of the Australian wall at the Lone Pine Memorial to the Missing showing names from the 17th and 19th Battalions AIF. Second Lieutenant Wilfred Addison, 18th Battalion, of Yass, New South Wales, was killed in action after spending only three days on the peninsula. His battalion landed on 19 August and went into action at Hill 60 where half of them became casualties within minutes. Addison, after he had been briefed on the forthcoming attack, is reputed to have said - I daresay I shall be one of the first to fall.

: 6 of 8.; The bottom third of Panel 65 of the Australian wall at the Lone Pine Memorial to the Missing showing names from the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd Battalions AIF. Private Jim Martin, 21st Battalion, age 14, of Hawthorn, Victoria, was almost certainly the youngest Anzac to die at Gallipoli. The unit reached the peninsula on 8 September 1915 and went to garrison the tranches at Courtney's Post. Martin was evacuated sick in late October and died of typhoid aboard the hospital ship Glenart Castle on 25 October 1915. Visit the Australian War Memorial website for further information on Jim Martin.

: 7 of 8.; The southern recess on the pylon of the Lone Pine memorial to the Missing showing names of the missing of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. After the war, the New Zealand government decided that the New Zealand Expeditionary Force's missing should be commemorated near where they lost their lives. So during the 1920s four New Zealand memorials to the missing, designed by Sir John Burnet, were created at different cemeteries: Chunuk Bair, Hill 60, Lone Pine and Twelve Tree Copse. Visit the Anzac.govt.nz website for for more information and images of these New Zealand memorials at Gallipoli.

: 8 of 8.; The view to the south west from the Lone Pine Memorial to the Missing. The Anzac line ran down Bolton's Ridge to the right as far as Chatam's Post where it fell away to the beach at the coast. In the distance is Gaba Tepe peninsula from the neck of which a Turkish battery operated at the landing of 25 April 1915 firing at the Allied ships and the Anzac beaches. While the battery was eventually silenced by British naval gunfire, the Gaba Tepe position remained, throughout the campaign, the main artillery observation post from which the Turks watched the sea approaches to Anzac and the Anzac beaches.
