Imbros and Gallipoli Photographic Exhibition Launch (SOLD OUT)
About
Imbros is an island in the northeastern Aegean. Its Kephalos Bay being the closest harbour to Anzac Cove, was the rendezvous point for the landings on 25th April. Throughout the whole campaign Imbros was the transit point for Australian and Allied troops being shipped to and from the Peninsula. It also served this purpose for many wounded and sick soldiers, some of whom were treated in the field medical units based there. Several Australian military units were based on Imbros.Local historian Jim Claven has carefully and diligently researched and curated the content of the exhibition. In the presentation boards forming the exhibition, Jim tells of the significant events, infrastructure and personnel that were present on the Island during this important time. Photographs obtained from the Australian and Imperial War Memorials, as well as little known images from private collections, provide an impressive and informative visual narrative.
