ANZAC Memorial ~ The Esplanade, Weymouth.

On June 1st, 2005 at Weymouth in Dorset a memorial to the Australians and New Zealanders who were accommodated in camps in the town during WWI was unveiled. Weymouth was the depot for the Anzacs Gallipoli casualties sent to UK hospitals for treatment and then discharged as convalescent.
The memorial is a three sided pillar about 1.5 metres in height and is located on the sea front. The principal Australian camp in the area was Montevideo Camp. In the Weymouth and Melcombe Regis Cemetary there are graves of those Anzacs who were never to return to their homelands

Good morning Peter, I don't think it was the gremlins as I did upload this last night but then had a visitor, so I made it private until I added the info this morning. A little grey here but very mild. Have a good new week.
