Anzac,the landing 1915 by George Lambert,1922.This painting, as previously mentioned, is the largest oil painting housed in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.(704cm x 386cm). The painting depicts the Australian soldiers of the covering force (3rd Infantry Brigade) climbing the seaward slope of Plugges Plateau which overlooks the northern end of Anzac Cove. The view is to the north, towards the main range. The yellow pinnacle is The Sphinx and beyond is Walkers Ridge which leads to Russells Top. The white bag that each soldier is carrying contains two days of rations which were issued specially for the landing.An amazing painting of a very sad time...Poor fellas.Lest we forget!
