Cape Helles Memorial

enlarge icon

The Empire (or Cape Helles) Memorial that stands between the two bloodiest landing sites at Cape Helles on 25 April 1915. The walls of the enclosure are a memorial to the missing, and include the names of British, Australian and imperial troops. There are separate New Zealand memorials to the missing elsewhere on the peninsula, although the names of 11 New Zealanders who died while serving in British or Australian units are here, including Bernard Freyberg's older brother Oscar. Scrolling right, Seddülbahir lies to the right of the memorial. Shipping heading to and from the Dardanelles can be seen with Turkey's Asiatic shore in the distance.

Panorama help
Once the movie downloads (about 1-2 mins on a 56k dial-up connection) you can move around inside the image with your mouse pointer, click and drag to explore. If the question mark symbol in the grey bar is highlighted you can click on it to see hotspot links. These are either in the form of roll-over text (an empty circle appears when rolling over) or links to other panoramas (a small globe appears when rolling over). The + and - are to zoom in and out. This panorama requires QuickTime 5 or later to view.
