Description
Aerial view showing Shell Green, Brighton Beach, Ryrie's Post, Chatham's Post, Holly Ridge. This is one of a number of aerial photographs taken over the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915 by the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS). Another photograph of the same positions taken on 20 June 1915 is held as A02100. Both photographs were published in The Story of Anzac, Volume 2 of the Official History of Australia in the War of 1914-18. See page 273. One of a series of 62 photographs acquired by C.E.W. Bean from a number of sources in the 1920s. None were taken by Bean, but acquired to augment his own photographs. All were registered in his personal (C.B.) series and carry a C.B. number. All were subsequently registered in the AWM G Series under one accession number, G01534, and use a series of alphabetic extensions, commencing with G01534A, to accommodate the 62 items.
