Gallipoli 2--Lone Pine
6:46 PM
Away from the beach, up in the hills, there is another cemetery at the site of the battle of Lone Pine/Kanli Sirt. There's an involved story I didn't quite understand, about a soldier/survivor taking a pine cone home, planting a seed, and his parents (children?) years later returning a pine seedling to this place.

Again, a beautiful place, though filled with grave markers, many of which read "believed to be buried here."
More to come,
