The map may well be of interest though I suspect it relates to the 53rd Division rather than to the 10th Irish Division to which the 32nd F Amb belongs. The link to the Yeomanry MO Diary that I put on my first post includes this map which I suspect shows some of the same features as your map. The 53rd CCS on A Beach is shown in the Norman Wilkinson painting on http://www.gallipoli.com.tr/silent_witnesses/a-beach.htm.

Though the map shows a 32nd FAmb ADS, I don't think this is the location of the photos which I guess in the main FAmb camp at the time.

I think (guess!) both of the following images may well show 32nd FAmb wagons close to the location (they aren't labelled, but there is a very similar image in Hargrave's Suvla Bay Landing which is titled as a 32ndFAmb wagon).

This is the Hargrave image

Have a try of TrenchMapper.

Right click and choose Gallipoli, pan to above the salt lake, right click and choose Centre Map Here then Maps at Centre. The list lower left gives a selection.

Maps with no marked scale are at the bottom of the list and includes hand drawn examples.

For example, map ID md_022249-08 shows a hospital at about the same place. To jump directly, right click and choose Map ID Jump with that ID.

If a more accurate location is of interest, see the Sevki Pasa post evacuation map of that area, map 7, currently second in the list or a direct jump with ID=m_012412) drawn 1:5,000.

Excellent. The member's site gives access to a vast amount of information, some available elsewhere, some not but all in one place.

TrenchMapper is now by far the largest online repository of Great War maps and still growing.
