Just behind the main memorial in Shrapnel Valley lies a narrow and steep track that runs up the ridge between the sea of Anzac Cove and the Second Ridge. On the day of the landing on 25th April 1915 soldiers found this a shortcut to the fighting, it remained so for the entire campaign. Sadly, for this little cemetery, it is the final resting place of 12 soldiers who were among the first casualties of Anzac. Their story told by Charles Bean who took this track with them.

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,
