Respect to Mehmetçik Monument, Eceabat, Gallipoli Peninsula, Çanakkale Province, Turkey, Europe
The Respect to Mehmetçik Memorial is a monument in the Gallipoli peninsula, Turkey. Mehmetçik is a common name given to soldiers in a war, just like G.I.. The monument is located in the Eceabat district of Çanakkale Province in the southern end of Albayrak heights in the Gallipoli Historical National Park which is facing the Anzac Cove. The monument has been created by the Turkish sculptor Tankut Öktem (1941-2007) in 1997. The monument is a sculpture of a Turkish soldier carrying an Australian officer. The sculpture is based on an event in the Dardanelles Campaign of the World War I in which a Turkish soldier, after raising a white flag, carried a wounded Australian officer to Australian lines and returned to his lines before resuming the clash. There is also an inscription of a statement made by Lord Richard Casey then a lieutenant and the staff captain with the 3rd Brigade in the Australian army, during a visit to Turkey about his respect to Turkish army.
Tarihe Saygi Parki, Kilitbahir, Çanakkale
Primul punct de interes major din călătorie: Parcul Tarihe Saygi (Respect pentru Istorie). Monumentul simbolizează dorința de pace a oamenilor.
Parcul este foarte aproape de locația unde pleacă ferryboat-urile spre Asia.
În această zonă a avut loc o mare bătălie în Primul Război Mondial: Bătălia de la Gallipoli unde Armata Turcă (imperiul Otoman) a respins atacurile Aliațior (britanici, francezi, australieni si neozeelandezi) care doreau să controleze Stâmtoarea Dardanele.
Atacul aliaților a venit datorită faptului că imperiul Otoman a decis să intre în război de partea Germaniei și Austro-Ungariei.
Mai multe informații se găsesc evident, pe internet.
Accesul în parc este gratuit.

Çanakkale Martyrs' Memorial, Gallipoli Peninsula, Çanakkale Province, Turkey, Europe
The Çanakkale Martyrs' Memorial is a war memorial commemorating the service of about 253,000 Turkish soldiers who participated at the Battle of Gallipoli, which took place from April 1915 to December 1915 during the First World War. It is located within the Gallipoli Peninsula Historical National Park on Hisarlık Hill in Morto Bay at the southern end of the Gallipoli peninsula in Çanakkale Province, Turkey. For the erection of a memorial in Gallipoli, an architectural contest was opened in 1944. The design by architects Doğan Erginbaş, Ismail Utkular and civil engineer Ertuğrul Barla won the official contest. Construction of the monument was decided in 1952, and the ground stone was laid on 19 April 1954. Financial problems caused interruption of the construction works several times. The main structure was completed on 15 March 1958. In the meantime, the Turkish daily Milliyet started a countrywide financial support campaign, and the memorial was officially opened on 21 August 1960. The 41.70 m (137 ft) high monument is in the form of four square columns 7.5 m (25 ft) wide with 10 m (33 ft) space between each other, topped by a concrete slab of 25 by 25 m (82 by 82 ft). The huge structure is well visible during passage through the Dardanelles. The museum underneath the monument was opened later and the bas-reliefs on the columns were completed afterwards. Situated to the north of the memorial, a war cemetery holding the remains of 600 Turkish soldiers was established in 1992. Inside the museum, beneath the memorial, further information and historical artifacts illustrate the magnitude of the Battle of Gallipoli, against the Allied powers: British, French, and Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC). Original personal and military items, such as cutlery, a set of false teeth, dress buttons, belt buckles, sniper shields, and photographs found on the battlefield, are on display in the museum.
Another way to think about Anzac Day
I respect and think of those that have scarified themselves in generations past but why is it still going on today. Do we learn from our mistakes or just want more for ourselves and so one way of living is better than another and so we will fight over ideologies and not look after each other because the ones we trust tell is lies in the first place. I respect those that died and those that lived and my Great Uncle who is still alive who served does not want to talk about it because war is hell and there is no point to it. His words.
Remember and change.
