TURKEY // Turkey's Gallipoli Peninsula is a place of remembrance for the WWI battles that took place on its rugged shores. The nine- month campaign (April 1915 to January 1916) resulted in half a million casualties, and the cemeteries and memorials scattered across the pine-clad countryside are a stark reminder of the brutality of war. Especially for visitors from Turkey, Australia and New Zealand, this is an important pilgrimage site. The thousands of graves, a testament to the sacrifice and heroism of the Allied and Ottoman soldiers, are given extra poignancy by the serene landscape.
