Gallipoli Pilgrimage

When Mr Hartley Palmer, of Richmond, told us he was to take part in the pilgrimage to Gallipoli on this, the 50th anniversary of the landings, we asked him to record for us, photographically, some of the places he visited which have been associated with New Zealand troops in the First and Second World Wars. Mr Palmer brought back a comprehensive range of photographs, and we have chosen a few of these for publication.
