Drawing of the headland at Gaba Tepe on the Gallipoli peninsular, 1915.
Pencil drawing showing a view of the headland at Gaba Tepe (Kabatepe) on the Gallipoli peninsular, soon after the landing of the Australian, New Zealand and Royal Marine Light Infantry troops in April 1915. The details include paths and trenches cut by the landing force, and the transport GLOUCESTER CASTLE (1911) among the vessels in the foreground. A note on the reverse suggests that the drawing was sent home to the wife of John Wilson Alexander, a junior officer on the GLOUCESTER CASTLE at this time.
