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.

lovely photos John
I'll bet it's a very poignant place to visit
do you happen to know what the words on the hillside in the earlier photos say?

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

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