Description

Shows an early morning scene in June/July 1915 looking across the crowded dugouts and bivvies of ANZAC Cove, while smoke rises from the breakfast fires. View from just outside General Birdwood's HQ dugout (bivvy in foreground with sloping roof), and shows some of his staff officers. The man seated with a pipe is a colonel in Birdwood's headquarters. Watson's Pier is the nearer double pier. The Casualty Clearing station on the shoreline at right is shown by the Red Cross flag. Looking south to Hell's Spit in background, with Plugge's Plateau at left, showing Godley's Terrace (housing Austrralian and New Zealand HQ) near the top of it just below the skyline.

Factual details supplied by Chris Pugsley, prior to purchase.

Horace Moore-Jones painted a similar scene in his 1915 Gallipoli sketches. This is held at Library of the Royal Commonwealth Society, London. ATL has lithograph published from it in 1916, at C-057-012-3.
