DescriptionAnzac Cove landing map used by Raymond Leane.png |
English: This map of Gallipoli belonged to Captain (later Brigadier General) Raymond Leane. The map is annotated with Turkish defences and is very fragile. Leane was an officer with the 11th Battalion and used the map at the landing at ANZAC Cove. He landed north off Ari Burnu at 4.55 am. Although kept in reserve for a time, his company eventually fought around Pope’s Hill and Courtney’s Post. On 4 May Leane used this map on a raid of the Turkish positions at Gaba Tepe, where they believed artillery observers were located. They were to note what defences protected the area, destroy communications and destroy any garrisons there. They landed at Gaba Tepe at dawn. As they rushed to the beach they came under intense fire and sought protection from the bank. They could not advance any further and were forced to withdraw. |
