The Gallipoli campaign of WW1 not only involved British and French forces invading the coast of Turkey but also involved the nearby Greek Island of Lemnos. It was in the mighty Mudros harbour that the invasion fleet gathered and it was here where wounded soldiers were treated, in their 100's of 1,000's. It was also seen as the only place where troops could rest and recuperate away from the horrible trenches. There are many dusty, grainy photographs of the troops exploring these windmills. Now they are just ruins of the same.

Craig Roach or more commonly known as Roachie, has wandered the secluded and stunningly beautiful WW1 battlefield of Gallipoli for thirty years. In that time he has seen nature slowly taking back the scars and tragedies of war. Roachie, has always been an avid artist and has passionately devoted his life on creating an artistic legacy of this tragic but beautiful place.

The hills, gullies, old trenches and beaches are littered with the remains of WW1. A hundred years on and there is now an artistic marriage between man and nature.

If you'd like to visit this place then Roachie will take you off the beaten track, show you the best place to paint, draw, sit in solitude and maybe share a bottle of wine. You can check out my exploits if you search for The Gallipoli Artist, on the web or Facebook.

See you there,
