C01822 Accession Number: C01822

Description

Troops and stores being landed at Anzac Cove soon after the landing. On the left several boats are drawn up to the shore, including a ship's boat from the transport HMAT Argyllshire (A8). Men are walking along a makeshift pier of pontoon construction, as Watson's Pier has not yet been built. The shore is crowded with men and with piles of stores, including large quantities of wooden packing materials, which probably ended up as firewood. Further along are numerous general service wagons. In the centre is the left flank wireless station, used to communicate with the fleet. Two soldiers are talking in the right foreground.
