b3rn Posted 4 December , 2011 Share Posted 4 December , 2011 Depth of field is not quite right on these composites but we're in the general area and confident that this broad hilltop housed 3AGH in 1915 and 1916.

b3rn Posted 4 December , 2011 Author Share Posted 4 December , 2011 Taken a few hundred metres east of 3AGH (not far from the present Russian memorial) - likely to be 3AGH nurses & officers (?) - the link takes you to the Flickr page where images can be viewed at original size Evacuation of our troops from the Peninsula. Barges conveyed them from transports to the Island. The last batch of troops from the Peninsula arriving at Lemnos. Jan. 1916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteStarLine Posted 4 December , 2011 Share Posted 4 December , 2011 Very evocative. I particularly liked #4 with the soldiers gazing with their backs to us. Thanks for the trouble you have gone to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b3rn Posted 6 December , 2011 Author Share Posted 6 December , 2011 Thanks all. I know I'm not the only one that finds 'then and now' photos fascinating. Have a look at the Historypin project, great promise with some large museums/archives partnering with them, and the possibility of crowdsourcing locations and current photographs. Wendy, the composites are done in Photoshop. You make the top layer (historical photo) opaque, and size/rotate it into place. It helps to take a 'now' photo in the right spot though. My wife has a great eye for that - better than 20/20 vision. Has warned me never to run if she's holding a gun . That West Mudros peninsula lends itself to these photos as the mountains in the background of the 1915/1916 photos haven't changed and are clearly visible. I am looking for photos of No. 2 Australian Stationary Hospital when it moved to Mudros West, and of the Canadian & British hospitals there so as to locate those hospitals within the peninsula as well.

kjharris Posted 28 April , 2012 Share Posted 28 April , 2012 Kirsty - you wouldn't happen to know which nurses are pictured with the blown down tent? Hi Bern Sorry for the very delayed reply - I don't know who the nurses are - I presume Savage doesn't say on the originals? I don't recognise them from any portraits that I've seen - we need some face recognition technology me thinks! cheers Kirsty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
