Lemnos Gallipoli Memorial Unveiling Brochure - Get Your Copy Here

We are proud to release on the web our Lemnos Gallipoli Memorial Unveiling brochure.
This document was written and prepared by myself and printed by Kosdown Press for the Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee.
The colour brochure tells the story of Lemnos' role in the Gallipoli campaign, the link to the Port Phillip community and the story of the creation of our great new memorial by Australia's pre-eminent commemorative sculptor, Peter Corlett, OAM.
It also reproduces many of the iconic images of Lemnos in 1915 - along with modern images taken by myself.
It also contains rolls of honour listing the details of all those Australians buried in Lemnos' military cemeteries, as well as those of the Australian nurses who served on Lemnos in 1915. Lest we forget.
Sadly, we have only been able to print a limited number of copies. Due to the demand for copies of the brochure, we have decided to make it available on the web.
We hope that you enjoy this important publication and commemoration of the role of Lemnos in Australia's Anzac story.
You can also read our media statement and some images from the unveiling.
