Description
View from Russell's Top looking towards Ari Burnu on the Gallipoli Peninsula. Note the prominent landmark of the Sphinx at the centre of the ridge. The Sphinx was named after the Egyptian monument located near Mena Camp, where the Anzac forces trained before they were deployed to fight in the Gallipoli campaign. This photograph was taken during the joint Australian War Memorial and Imperial War Museum battlefield tour of Gallipoli in September 2000.
