On April 25th, 1915, Australian troops landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula, and thousands died as they landed at the incorrect position and faced steep cliffs and barrages of enemy f ire. For more than 40 years, Tasman Millington quietly crafted and moulded the physical part of the ANZAC legend, devoting his life to the fallen heroes of Gallipoli. As a former ANZAC himself, Millington made it his life's mission to see that an everlasting memorial to the soldiers was created on the Gallipoli Peninsula. Millington fought in two world wars but he believed the best service he ever gave his country was his devoted work for the War Graves Commission. Show more
