Anzac Cove, Gallipoli.This postcard was sent by 622 Private Herbert Vincent Reynolds. The rear of the postcard is inscribed as follows: Monte Video Camp Nov 24th 1915 "Dear Mother, This view of Anzac Cove as far as I can judge must have been taken about the end of May. The pier which was there when I left is not in the view. The hospital can be seen on the right centre of the view but when I left it was shifted further along and now is in the centre of the cove and would be shown exactly in the centre of the view. Many were the lads who went out in the landing on this spot I first set foot, away along towards the left of the view on the first Sunday Apr 25th there were about 1800 wounded on the spot shown and the scene was a terrible one. The view is not a very clear one the hills are really more steep than they look in the view."
