This showcased event has concluded.
Join us at Anzac Square Memorial Galleries for a free talk exploring stories from the Gallipoli campaign.
The Gallipoli campaign was a plan to knock the Ottomans out of the war, but it quickly turned into a stalemate that would continue for eight long months. The Australian and New Zealand troops committed to this action proved themselves to have a great capacity for courage under fire and endurance in dreadful conditions, displaying qualities of stoicism, good humour, self-sacrifice, and mateship.
Though they suffered heavy losses, and the campaign would fail to achieve its objectives, the actions of the Australian and New Zealand troops during this campaign began the ANZAC legend and saw the world stand up and take notice.
This free talk will draw on stories, diaries, letters, and photographs from State Library of Queensland's military collection, including:
After the talk, visitors can stay to explore the Memorial Galleries - embarking on an interactive journey from the First World War to today, before taking time to reflect on the remarkable stories of bravery and sacrifice in the tranquil parklands.
Note: Anzac Square Memorial Galleries will be open special hours on Anzac Day Tuesday 25 April, from 5.30am to 3pm.
Anzac Square Memorial Galleries is located at 285 Ann Street, Brisbane. Entry is through the double brass doors located beneath the Shrine of Remembrance.
