- Description
A watercolour sketch showing the Gallipoli landscape of Courtney's Post, a front line position under New Zealand command. The location was situated between Quinn's Post to the north and Steel's Post to the south. It was named after Lieutenent Colonel Richard Courtney, the Australian military engineer who supervised its construction. The daytime scene shows the steep winding path from the floor of Monash Gully, leading to the entrenchments near the lip of the ridge, only metres away from the Turkish trenches. Figures and makeshift lean-tos are dotted amongst the scrub on the hillside.
