The commemoration of Anzac Day in Brisbane was given an added boost last week with the display of the Imbros and Gallipoli exhibition at the city's iconic Greek Club in South Brisbane.
It was a beautiful sunny Sydney day that brought the city's Imbrian community out in force to see and hear about their island's rich history as part in the Gallipoli campaign and Australia's Anzac story.
A publication released reveals the role of the Island of Imbros and its Hellenic population in the Gallipoli campaign of 1915-16. The book's author is historian Jim Claven and has been published by the Imvrian Society of Melbourne. The book complements the recent Imbros & Gallipoli Revealed Exhibition – curated by Claven – and launched in June 2023.
A large crowd braved a cold wintry Melbourne night last Friday to witness the formal launch of a new and unique exhibition, depicting the role of the northern Aegean island of Imbros in the Gallipoli campaign and Australia's Anzac story. The exhibition took place in the refurbished hall of the Archangels Greek Orthodox Church.
