No one in these photographs taken 92 years ago is alive today... Neither the soldiers photographed nor the people in Ismailia... There is only a shadow in some of the frames... The shadow left behind by a photographer... A New Zealand soldier... A shadow who secretly put his bellows camera, which was actually not very small, from the 1900s, into his pocket, wanted to document his experiences, and set out for war... Like many soldiers who participated in World War I...

Emine Çaykara, whom we know with her Nehir interviews and biography books, appears before her readers with a different work this time. It tells the story of a negative album that sets off with a New Zealand Anzac in 1914, travels through camp life in Egypt, and ends at the Abud Mansion in Istanbul. Among the photographs in this album, which was entrusted to him by Mehmet Abud, whose biography was written, and published for the first time, there are images of both the Anzacs preparing for war in the Zeytun camp near the Suez Canal and the people in the Abud Mansion. You will encounter a different face of one of the most interesting and tragic battles of history in Gallipoli.
