| Reverse description | A dynamic battle scene commemorating the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I dominates the field, depicting Allied soldiers advancing through smoke and rough terrain against a backdrop of rugged cliffs and hills evoking the Gallipoli peninsula. In the foreground, troops wearing the distinctive broad-brimmed hats of the ANZAC forces are shown in close-order assault. Superimposed over the scene in bold, typographically varied lettering is the opening line of Wilfred Owen's poem 'Anthem for Doomed Youth': WHAT PASSING BELLS FOR THESE WHO DIE?, serving as both legend and artistic centrepiece. |
