Travel in Turkey

At the end of the Great War, the Allies returned to the Gallipoli Peninsula and cleared the battlefields of the bodies still unburied. In the nine months of the campaign more than 36,000 Commonwealth soldiers died and Australia suffered 26 094 casualties. The 31 war cemeteries on the peninsula contain 22,000 graves, but only 9000 of these were able to be identified. Featured is an animated map of Gallipoli showing all of the Australian war grave sites with lists of Australian names for Shrapnel Valley, Ari Burnu, Plugge's Plateau and Beach cemeteries.
