john white Posted 17 December , 2019 Share Posted 17 December , 2019 Dear Members I have made a stab as to the exact location of the Apex Cemetery with the help of a friend as asked by the Editor. Any comments would be welcome. Regards John White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeldr Posted 25 January , 2020 Share Posted 25 January , 2020 This photograph is very similar to the one which Emrezmen posted in No.11 above. It must have been taken from the same spot, only the angle is very slightly different. It is from The 28th: A Record of War Service in the Australian Imperial Force, 1915-19, Vol. I, by Herbert Brayley Collett, and it may be helpful to know the photographer's location, which is given as “Taken from No.4 Post at the Apex”. The sketch map below indicates the relative positions of the Apex and the Farm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john white Posted 25 February , 2020 Share Posted 25 February , 2020 Dear Members Does anyone have any photos of the Farm area of Gallipoli prior to to the forestation in the nineties,except,of course, for those shown above?

keithmroberts Posted 25 February , 2020 Share Posted 25 February , 2020 (edited) There's a very early one in the book The Ship of rRemembrance by Ian Hay. I'm not sure if it has been difitised anywhere. I'll look. My copy has pretty tight binding which makes taking a photo difficult without causing damage. Keith EDIT JISC shows a copy at the National Library of Wales John, but some other reference libraries in your region might have copies. I can't see a digitised one .

keithmroberts Posted 25 February , 2020 Share Posted 25 February , 2020 Here's the photo I mentioned - not as awkward to take a pic as I expected. From The Ship of Remembrance published in 1926. It might be worth exploring the photographic catalogue of the IWM. There may be something there that would help you. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krithia Posted 16 March , 2020 Share Posted 16 March , 2020 A similar view of The Farm taken by me on my second ever trip to Gallipoli in 1996. It is a shame today that trees cover this fabulous view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krithia Posted 21 March , 2020 Share Posted 21 March , 2020 Hey Michael, likewise. I happened to be going through some of my early battlefield images and found a load I took in the period just after the fire at Anzac, although this area wasnt as badly affected.
