" So begins the description of an unrecorded menu for a commemorative dinner for the FIRST ANZAC DAY, given in London while the First World War continued to rage on. This would have been the culmination of a day which included the march of more than 2,000 Australian and New Zealand troops, called by a local newspaper "the knights of Gallipoli". This was the day that the 25th April was officially named ANZAC Day. It was also commemorated in ceremonies and services in Australia & New Zealand and a sports day in the Australian camp in Egypt. ANZAC day remains one of the most important national occasions of both Australia and New Zealand. The menu was autographed by approximately 16 attendees. Most were Australians, but also include three New Zealanders and one British lieutenant. These include L. Tiptaft, head of the Executive Committee; H.J. Brigden, who gave one of the speeches and was from the 1st Aus. Div Train. William Button's signature demands attention, "Billy Button Lt. 11th ASC". He was with the 4th Pioneers, mustered in 4 Aug 1915, m/o 5 Apr 1919 (Service #3701). Warrant Officer G.J. Russell, the treasurer of the Executive Committed signed "Geo. Russell".

Description:
(A) A small album (150 × 145 mm) with the hand-painted title 'Souvenir of Egypt, Palestine, Sinai, Syria. 1914 to 1919', containing 45 (originally 48) small snapshots (45 × 63 mm) loosely inserted behind captioned window mounts. Fifteen photographs are of more than passing interest. The most fascinating one, 'Beersheba Stunt', features about a dozen Light Horsemen on the move and raising dust; one saddled horse appears riderless. Others include 'Turks from Rafa. Jan 9th 1917' (the day the city fell); 'Trench. Gaza, April 19th 1917' (a major defeat; see note on postcard, quoted below); 'Bivouacs at Khan Yunis, Palestine' (two photographs); and cameliers (three photographs). The other thirty photographs are routine images of the places along the way - Cairo, Port Said, Alexandria, El-Arish - ending up with four of Homs and five of Jerusalem. (B) A collection of 74 loose snapshots (generally 82 × 58 mm or the reverse). Approximately 40 (30 with captions on the verso) are views, mainly of Jerusalem and…
