The Nek Gallipoli 7th August 2008

During the Gallipoli campaign, the 8th Victorian and the 10th Western Australian Lighthorse regiments, fighting as dismounted troops charged the Turkish defences at The Nek.
In an area the size of a tennis court, nearly 300 young Australians died in 3 waves, charging the Turk positions, as a diversionary attack to support the British landings at Sulva Bay.

As a Victorian native, living in Western Australian I felt a strong bond with these men and their action, having read many books and articles of their valient charge, with the oppertunity to visit Gallipoli on ANZAC day and the 7th of August I made this my pilgrimage this year. the photos speak for themselves.
