Letters from a pilgrimage: Ken Inglis’s despatches from the Anzac tour to Gallipoli, April–May 1965
No full textIn April 1965, on the fiftieth anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli, Ken Inglis travelled to Anzac Cove with a boatload of diggers making a pilgrimage to the scene of Australia’s best-known battle. As they travelled from Australia to Turkey via Egypt and Greece, he wrote seven articles for the Canberra Times, which are reproduced in this ebook.
The three-week tour had been arranged by the Returned Services League and its New Zealand equivalent. The tour ship visited sites of significance in Anzac memory in the Mediterranean, culminating in a landing at Anzac Cove on 25 April. Some 300 pilgrims had signed up, and more than half the men in the party had served at Gallipoli. Accompanying the pilgrimage allowed Inglis, a professor of history at ANU, to talk at leisure with a large group of veterans, be with them as they returned, most of them for the first time, to old battlefields and the resting places of comrades, and report on the experience for Australian reader
