The Battle of Lone Pine is one of the best-known actions of the Gallipoli campaign. Designed in effect to break out of the ANZAC perimeter and named for a Turkish Pine that stood at the start of the fighting, the Battle of Lone Pine began on August 6th, 1915 and saw fierce close-quarters fighting in the complex tunnels of the Ottoman trench system. Drew Harrison's painting captures the close quarters combat amid the utter devastation of the battlefield.
