As well as illustrating the wide range of maps and drawings generated during
the campaign, what was most evident was the different printing methods
employed—lithographic to spirit printing. Here, it is assumed that the less time-
consuming replication methods were employed when time was of the essence and
'rapid response' mapping was needed.
As noted in the introduction, this paper reports on the findings from the first
stage of the project Towards Gallipoli 2015. It provides an overview of the maps
and geo-located artefacts that can be accessed for further investigation and
analysis.
