"At a mile distant their thousand hooves were stuttering thunder, coming at a rate that frightened a man - they were an awe inspiring sight, galloping through the red haze - knee to knee and horse to horse - the dying sun glinting on bayonet points..." Trooper Ion Idriess

Commemoration details
The Lone Pine Memorial (Panel 5), Gallipoli, Turkey
The Lone Pine Memorial, situated in the Lone Pine Cemetery at Anzac, is the main Australian Memorial on Gallipoli, and one of four memorials to men of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. Designed by Sir John Burnet, the principal architect of the Gallipoli cemeteries, it is a thick tapering pylon 14.3 metres high on a square base 12.98 metres wide. It is constructed from limestone mined at Ilgardere in Turkey.
The Memorial commemorates the 3268 Australians and 456 New Zealanders who have no known grave and the 960 Australians and 252 New Zealanders who were buried at sea after evacuation through wounds or disease. The names of New Zealanders commemorated are inscribed on stone panels mounted on the south and north sides of the pylon, while those of the Australians are listed on a long wall of panels in front of the pylon and to either side. Names are arranged by unit and rank.
The Memorial stands over the centre of the Turkish trenches and tunnels which were the scene of heavy fighting during the August offensive. Most cemeteries on Gallipoli contain relatively few marked graves, and the majority of Australians killed on Gallipoli are commemorated here.

The Merritt family
The Merritt family
[From: Melbourne Argus, 19 January 1915 p. 7.]
During the Great War, many families saw all the eligible men enlist for service. This item deals specifically with the Merritt family which was featured within a small piece published in the Melbourne Argus, 19 January 1915 p. 7.
Family of Soldiers
In the camp at Broadmeadows three brothers named Merritt for one of the notable instances of the three boys of a family bound for the war. They are William Crawford, Charles Cecil and Frank Leslie Merritt of Welshpool, Gippsland. The uncle of the lads, Mr David Crawford, who went through the South African War in Bethune's Light Horse, is also a member of the present contingent, and has been placed in command of the scouts. He was mentioned in despatches in South Africa, and received the "DSO". The family is certainly a fighting one, for Mrs Merritt's father was a member of the British legion that fought in Spain from 1834 to 1840.
The following are the military biographies of each man mentioned in the article.

2. Complimentary Extract from RO 502 by Brigadier General Antill.
The following communication has been received from General Headquarters:
The Commander in Chief has received with interest the full report on the recent operation in the Munksheib and has been able to appreciate more fully the work done.
He considers that this operation could not have been better planned, organised and carried out. It reflects the greatest credit on Brigadier Antill, Lieutenant Colonel Todd and all ranks.
He is particularly struck with the splendid way the men worked. Their discipline and endurance stood the test extremely well.
Altogether in this Brigade and its attached troops he considers that he has troops he can rely on.
This RO concentrates upon the routine requirements of maintaining the line at Serapeum. It also notes the earlier reconnaissance to Wadi el Munksheib in which the 8th Light Horse Regiment played a notable role in March 1915.
