GALLIPOLI GRAVES.
ERECTION OF HEADSTONES.
Sydney Sept, 6. According to a report received by the Federal Government from the War Grave* Commission, many people have been visiting the battlefield and cemeteries at Gallipoli. Two special tours were arranged, and many Australians and New Zealanders were included in the parties.
There are now 32 cemeteries on the Peninsula. Of these 21 are situated at Anzac, 6 at Cape Helles, 4 at Suvla Bay, and 1 at Kalid Bahr. Stone protection walls have been constructed round nine of the cemeteries at Anzac, and the work is being proceeded with on the monuments at the embarkation points. It is expected that the first headstones will arrive at Anzac for erection in September. Every effort is being made to keep the cemeteries free from weeds, and the visitors expressed keen satisfaction with the conditions.
