Description
Turkish prisoners, captured by the Anzac Corps during the fighting between 6-10 August 1915, sitting behind a barbed wire fence in a compound above Anzac Cove. Note the white arm bands worn by the guards on the far side of the enclosure, which were used during the August operations to distinguish the attacking troops from the enemy. The compound was situated near the 1st Australian Divisional Headquarters, where Australian Intelligence Officers searched and interrogated the prisoners before moving them to neighbouring islands.
