From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kemal Atatürk Memorial has an eminent place on ANZAC Parade, the central ceremonial and memorial avenue of Canberra, the capital city of Australia.

This picture shows the bust and the words of condolence said by Atatürk regarding those lost during the invasion of the Gallipoli Peninsular in 1915:

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 living in our bosom and are in peace. Having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.

I took this picture on Thursday 28 April 2005, just days after ANZAC Day, when thr floral tributes were laid.
