Here is a little display of my ever growing imperial awards on Gallipoli maps.

Wow, that's an incredible collection! Middle-ages aromored manequins are astonishing! And WW1 era decorated officers are also something I've never seen in such a splendid.

Love the ribbon bar!!!

Since the ribbon bar got some attention, I had to show more photos!

I too like your display very much, especially the ribbon bar.

My late neighbour's father was an ANZAC and wounded at Gallipoli.

Hello Mike

Thank you for your comment, I am glad tı tell that we are making a Turkish Australian co-production film called The Last Post about the Gallipoli Campaign. I hope your neighbor would watch it when it opens in 2015.

More info will be available very soon at www.thelastpost-movie.com

Best regards

Tan,

very nice Galipoli stars. These are hands down my favorite WW1 award, I would like to get more of them but I will have to see. There is a really good book published on these awards, lots of variations to collect as well. Matt

Hello Matt
You must be mentioning Mr. Demir Erman's book in the photo. It's like the Bible of this medal. I am pleased to say that I am fortunate enough to know the author who is a very fine gentleman.

The Turkish War Medal is almost Enver Pasha's take on the Iron Cross, not that they only look same, they have very similar features as well ( in the photo below, a L/11 EK 1 next to a Godet TWM ).

Their variations make them very desirable to collect, I hope I will come up more TWM's in near future!

This is the last piece added to the Gallipoli collection, a Turkish belt buckle.

I made this group shot with the new arrivals, hope you enjoy. The canteens are battlefield finds.
