Dedication

Front Inscription

ANZACS OF GREECE
[Classical Greek quote]
Doing Battle Besides The Hellespont These Men Lost Their Shining Youth. They Brought Honour To Their Homeland, So That The Enemy Groaned As It Carried Off The Harvest Of War And For Themselves They Set Up A Deathless Memorial Of Their Courage.
LEMNOS - MACEDONIA - CRETE
