Description

Tent lines of the 4th Australian Field Ambulance on the Greek island of Lemnos, near the Turkish coast. The island was lent by Greece as a base for the Allied fleet. It was also chosen as the base for troops landing on the Gallipoli Peninsula; however, due to the limited fresh water supplies and lack of wharves at Mudros harbour, Alexandria became the main base instead.
