The Australian War Memorial's 'A Camera on Gallipoli' exhibition provides visitors with the opportunity to view the photographs of surgeon Sir Charles Ryan, a senior medical officer in the Australian Imperial Force (AIF). These images take us behind the stirring accounts of battle being reported at home to reveal the dry, forbidding landscape, tired troops in the trenches, squalid dug-outs, and the horrendous task of burying the dead. Here, in Ryan's display of mate-ship, stoicism and dogged endurance, is the spirit of Anzac.

The exhibition also links the 1915 Gallipoli campaign to a series of downloadable 'ANZAC Experience in Malta' self-guided tours that detail where wounded Anzacs who were brought to Malta for medical treatment, convalesced, were entertained and hospitalised, and the various final resting places of those service personnel who lost their lives.

This exhibition is arranged in collaboration between Din l-Art Ħelwa and the
Australian High Commission, Malta, and is sponsored by Virtu Ferries.

Torri Mamo can be reached by bus and also by car. Check Malta Public Transport for details.

Resharing Din l-Art Helwa's post on the terrible news about Fort Tigne. This is a one of a kind fort for our islands and would be a shame if this were to go through. This is what we get when politicians commercialise our National Heritage.
