The
world suffered great loss in
the 8 month campaign at Gallipoli . Its youth - their dreams
- their ambitions and the contributions they would have made
to the countries of their birth.
The staggering figures below bear out the enormity of the
horror of this loss still keenly felt today eighty odd years
later.

Although
the names listed on this site are but a fraction of those
who died at Gallipoli, they represent all the bodies of Anzacs
who were able to be identified and commemorated by the Commonwealth
War Graves Commission. With humility www.anzacs.net publishes
these names in tribute to all those who never returned to
their families.
Together with a colleague in Turkey it is our ambition to
eventually photograph all these graves and post the photos
on this site. In addition to this we are hopeful of starting
a photo library of those soldiers who died there. This
depends on you. If you wish to commemorate a family member
who lost his life at Gallipoli by posting his photo and details
to this site please register your interest below. A small
service fee will apply. This fee will assist in the costs
associated with photographing the graves.
