EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Midst Shot and Shell we made the narrow Beach, landing at Gallipoli" we are transported back to a significant moment in history during World War I. The image depicts a group of brave soldiers from Australia and New Zealand climbing up a treacherous cliff face amidst explosions and gunfire. The sheer determination on their faces is evident as they ascend the rocky shore, inching closer towards their objective. With rifles in hand, these allied forces show unwavering courage and resilience in the face of adversity. As boats approach the coastline, providing support and transport for troops, the scene becomes even more intense. The chaos of war surrounds them - shells exploding nearby, creating plumes of smoke that fill the air. This illustration captures not only the physical challenges faced by these soldiers but also highlights their unyielding spirit to fight for their countries. This powerful artwork serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served during this tumultuous time. It symbolizes both individual bravery and collective unity among nations fighting together against a common enemy. Published in 1916 as part of Told in Huts: The YMCA Gift Book, this color lithograph by Cyrus Cuneo immortalizes an important chapter in history. It stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit that prevailed amidst shot and shell on that narrow beach at Gallipoli.
