‘A Camera on Gallipoli’ exhibition on display at the historic Torri Mamo

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Australian War Memorial’s ‘A Camera on Gallipoli’ exhibition provides visitors with the opportunity to view the photographs of surgeon Sir Charles Ryan, a senior medical officer in the Australian Imperial Force (AIF). These images take us behind the stirring accounts of battle being reported at home to reveal the dry, forbidding landscape, tired troops in the trenches, squalid dug-outs, and the horrendous task of burying the dead. Here, in Ryan’s display of mateship, stoicism and dogged endurance, is the spirit of Anzac.

The exhibition also links the 1915 Gallipoli campaign to a series of downloadable ’ANZAC Experience in Malta’ self-guided tours that detail where wounded Anzacs who were brought to Malta for medical treatment, convalesced, were entertained and hospitalised, and the various final resting places of those service personnel who lost their lives.

A visit to the exhibition also provides an opportunity to learn more about the history of Torri Mamo; a fortified country residence built by the Mamo family in 1657 as protection against invading pirates from nearby St Thomas Bay.

This exhibition is arranged in collaboration between Din l-Art Ħelwa and the Australian High Commission, Malta, and is sponsored by Virtu Ferries.

Torri Mamo can be reached by bus. Check Malta Public Transport for details.
