Thanks for your kind words Ross ...

Albany Western Australia Harbour entrance named after Kemal Ataturk.
In a reciprocal agreement in 1985 the channel leading into Princess Harbour (Albany WA) was officially named Ataturk Channel whilst the Turkish Govt. offically named the beach at Gallipoli where the Australian and New Zealand troops landed "Anzac Cove". In 2002 a statue of Mustafa Kamal Ataturk was erected overlooking the Channel.

The pleasure is mine Manfred, thanks for the informative post, I often wondered how a battlefield in a foreign land came to be named after the invading force...now I know.
