out standing photos, thanks very very much. have you any photos of hill 10 monument. due to the war graves commision that is the monument that was erected for that particular battle in which he was killed

[JT]

Sorry ken, though we went around the sites we really only dwelled at the Turkish site of Abida as mt driver Rami is of course Turkish and he was told by his father to check that one out.

Thanks John for the opportunity to see something that is so sad but still remembered. The poem by Mustapha Kemal is very poignant and was quoted in the newspaper last week about wounded soldiers being treated together.

do you happen to know what the words on the hillside in the earlier photos say?

Really interesting pics, thanks for sharing them.

[JT]

Yes I do know what the words on the hillside say and I thought someone would have come up with the answer by now

This is the best I can come up with

without knowing a passenger came and stopped the transfer of this land

thanks, but at the risk of being dumb - what does that mean?
