== Gallipoli  Crossing - Do you know when and why it was named? ==
+
In the Mallala area it is a well known and accepted sign for a location.
+
The disappearance of the sign and the desire to install a replacement has resulted in some puzzling questions.
+
 
+
It was considered to have been named in recognition of the WW1 invasion at Gallipoli. “The landing of the Anzacs at Gallipoli coincided, when the railway construction had reached that point." ''Quoted from P36 of the book “To South Australia’s Shore They Came.”''
+
 
+
A grant to finance the replacement required research for qualified information to be presented in the application.
+
In newspaper ''The Register'' Tues 22 June 1915 p6 quoting:
+
 
+
"'''RAILWAY  WORK  PROGRESSING'''
+
 
+
Operations in connections with the Salisbury to Long Plains Railway, authorized by an Act in 1913, were commenced at the Salisbury end on April 23 last. The line is to be 34 1/2 miles long."<br>
+
The line had not reached the site Gallipoli Crossing.
+
 
+
'''All information to assist in the research would be appreciated.''' Email:[mailto:museum@rbe.net.au museum@rbe.net.au]
