ABSTRACT
This large-scale display of aerial reconnaissance photographs, taken above the Gallipoli peninsula in 1915, enables visitors to explore the topography which served as a backdrop to the ill-fated Anzac campaign (see also Chapters 16 and 17 for other applications focusing on the Western Front in Belgium and the Isonzo theatre of war in Italy). Drawing upon the Memorial’s archival collections, ‘Anzac from the Air’ combines historical aerial photographs with current geo-spatial, three-dimensional data of the peninsula. In this significant museum experience, the leading-edge military technology of 1915 is reimagined in the digital age of 2015.
