Notes

  • Epigraph: Those heroes that shed their blood/ and lost their lives .../ You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country./ Therefore rest in peace./ There is no difference between the Johnnies/ and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side/ here in this country of ours.../ You, the mothers,/ who sent their sons from far away countries/ wipe away your tears;/ your sons are now lying in our bosom/ and are in peace./ After having lost their lives on this land they have/ become our sons as well.

    Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's 1934 tribute to the Anzacs at Gallipoli, now inscribed in Turkish and English on the memorial at Ari Burnu on Anzac Cove
