A ceremony to mark the end of the war at Gallipoli

The guns fell silent and peace arrived in the ANZAC Sector at Gallipoli in the early hours of 20th of December 1915. This signalled the end of hostilities between the foes which began on 25 April 1915 which caused many thousands of both sides sacrifice their lives. The 102nd anniversary of this important event was commemorated at the Shrine of Remembrance with a wreath-laying ceremony at the Sanctuary.
