The forgotten Greek island that cared for injured ANZAC
Lemnos is situated about 60 kilometres from Gallipoli in the Aegean sea and in 1915 it hosted tens of thousands of Anzac and other Allied troops before the assault on Gallipoli. In the months afterwards thousands of wounded and exhausted troops were ferried from the battlefields back to Lemnos to rest and recover - although some never did. Dozens of New Zealand and Australian soldiers are buried in military cemeteries on the island. Dimitris Boulotis is the Deputy Mayor of the Municipality of Limnos, responsible for Public and International Relations and Manolis Ioannidis is an islander with a deep knowledge of what happened in 1915.
