Hellas Memorial, Gallipoli

The memorial is the main Commonwealthbattle memorial for the whole Gallipoli Campaign, and also commemorates the 20,956 Commonwealth servicemen with no known grave who died in the campaign from 1915-1916, during the First World War. The United Kingdom and Indian forces named on the memorial died in operations throughout the peninsula, with main landings at Cape Helles and Suvla Bay, and the Australian and New Zealand Army Corpsfought mainly at ANZAC Cove. There are also panels for those who died or were buried at sea in Gallipoli waters. Other Commonwealth memorials to missing servicemen from the Gallipoli campaign include the Lone Pine Memorial, Hill 60 Memorial, Chunuk Bair Memorial, and Twelve Tree Copse Memorial. Naval casualties who were buried at sea are also commemorated on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial, Plymouth Naval Memorial and Chatham Naval Memorialin the UK. French casualties are commemorated at the Morto Bay French Cemetery. The main Turkish memorial is the Çanakkale Martyrs' Memorial.

Defiantly a very moving place. Huge respect to the Turkish authorities and Turkish people for preserving and respecting the tombstones and memorials of the invading foreign soldiers. Was heart touching but also saddening to see how thousands of Indians have lost their lives serving the ambitions of greedy British who continue to disrespect and mock Indians.
