Australia WW1 A Gallipoli Souvenir Postcard, Bravo ANZACs

This photographic postcard dates from World War I and is titled "A Gallipoli Souvenir, Bravo ANZACs!" and has hand-coloured images at the top, including Lieutenant General Sir W R Birdwood, "The Soul of ANZAC", a Light Horse trooper in uniform, ( this is the Australian version as there is a NZ version too with a NZ soldier,) the Union Jack, a small map of the Gallipoli Peninsula and the Crest of the Southern Cross. The border is impressed with holly and horse shoes. The reverse is printed with space to write a message but has not been filled out.

A poem printed below the images reads "Rings the wide world with the fame / and glory of Australia's name / valiant sons of Britain true / Our Great Empire praises you! / And to history shall go down / New Zealand's loyal and brave renown, / zeal, in every noble heart / answ'ring plays a hero's part / closer binds our Empire's tracks / sons of Britain - Brave ANZACs".
