| Summary: | This view from Chanak looks towards the Gallipoli Peninsula with the Kilid Bahr Plateau covered in snow, in the background. There are remains of a jetty in the foreground. In 1919 George Lambert accompanied the Australian Historical Mission to Gallipoli. The Australian Historical Mission spent a week on Chanak: ‘For the past 7 days we have been more of less stranded at Chanak on the Asiatic side of the Gate of the World. Snow blizzards ice & general discomfort. No coal or wood and a damp gloomy fifth rate house called the Lion Hotel, may I live to forget it.’ | ||
