The human side of history

The Landing, Ellis Silas, 1916.jpg

"In the hold of the troopship, Hyda Pasha. There, for The last time in this world, many of us stood shoulder to shoulder. As I looked down the ranks of my comrades, I wondered much which of us were marked for the Land Beyond. We were well in the zone of fire, and every second I was expecting a shell to come bursting through the side of the ship, to answer my question." - Ellis Silas

[Gallipoli, 25 April 1915]

A message from the Director

"We wanted it to be less of a slice of life thing and more a story about friendship, and a story about love, and a story about what we don't say to people, and what's left unsaid."
