Gallipoli ready to host Anzac service attendees...
ReplyDeleteThe northwestern province of Çanakkale’s Gallipoli peninsula is preparing for the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Gallipoli next year. Every year, thousands of people visit the memorial and graveyard for fallen soldiers in Çanakkale, where a Dawn Service is held in memory of the fallen.
Çanakkale Mayor Ülgür Gökhan said they would accept everyone who wants to attend the commemorations next year.
For next year’s commemorations on April 25, 2015, it has only allotted 10,000 places - 8,000 for Australians and 2,000 for New Zealanders. But more than 42,500 people from Australia and almost 1,000 people from New Zealand have applied to attend commemorations.......http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/gallipoli-ready-to-host-anzac-service-attendees.aspx?pageID=238&nID=61985&NewsCatID=379
