StateLibQld 1 132075 To Constantinople

To Constantinople.
Britannia called, and swift ere the trumpets echoes died away, The gathering forces of her children marched in stern array, From Ice-bound shores and India's burning strand, From wave-tipped Isles and Austal's sunny land, To do or die they came, Brave Heroes of the Dardanelles.

Britannia is portrayed as a young helmeted woman holding a Union Jack. She is directing two Australian soldiers towards Constantinople (Istanbul). The Australians have fixed bayonets and are standing on a Turkish flag. A troopship and other invading soldiers can be seen in the background.
