Gallipoli Exhibition
A special exhibition opens tonight, Wednesday, at St Columb’s Cathedral, celebrating the contribution the city made to the ill-fated Gallipoli Campaign.
Curated by Ian Bartlet with assistance from local militoary historian Richard Doherty and graphic designer, Tim Webster, it includes many personal artefacts from city families, including the Wilsons and McSparrons. Among the treasured personal effects are Dead Man’s Pennies, dog tags, a Bible, war diary and war medals.
Staged in the Chapter House of the historic post-Reformation Cathedral, the exhibition is open to the public throughout the month of June.
