Lemnos, Gallipoli and the Port Phillip Connection Booklets and Posters Now Available!

Recently I prepared a series of historical booklets and commemorative posters for the City of Port Phillip, explaining the Lemnos Gallipoli story and its connection to Port Phillip.
These will be linked to our Lemnos Gallipoli Memorial at Melbourne's Albert Park via the QR code symbol on our Memorial information board (illustrated above).
The documents are produced as a series of PDF booklets and they are available for download via the links below. There are seven separate booklets or posters available. We hope you enjoy these.
