Description
Australian and English medical officers and soldiers working in No 1 Australian Field Hospital in Reserve Gully, Gallipoli. Ari Burnu is to the right and Plugge's Plateau is behind. In the distance the tip of Gaba Tepe is visible. The road that stretches out behind the tents is a road called the Great Sap and it was originally dug by Turkish prisoners and runs from Anzac Cove to North Beach. On the lower right in the foreground of the painting the words 'Harley Street' are inscribed on a rock. This refers to the medical district in London where the Australian and British doctors were trained. The presence of the ancient pottery urn makes reference to the find of a large amount of ancient pottery by the Australian soldiers when they were tunelling in Anzac Cove.
