Description
From Walker's Ridge looking towards the Sphinx and in the far distance Ari Burnu Point. While completing the sketch on which this painting is based, Clifton noticed some Australian soldiers climbing from the beach to the viewpoint. Slightly to the left from this point and in the foreground of the work we discover the exposed bones of fallen soldiers from the Gallipoli campaign. Pugh was appointed official war artist for the 75th Anniversary of the Gallipoli landing at Anzac Cove in 1990.
