About this diorama
Back to Diorama The battle of Lone Pine diorama depicts the opening assault by Australians from the 1st Brigade as they rush across no man’s land to attack the heavily fortified Turkish trenches. However, it does not show the main battle that ensued within these trenches over the following three days. It is the only Gallipoli action represented as a diorama in the Memorial’s First World War Galleries.
As with all the large-scale dioramas, it gives the viewer a frozen moment in time, placing the battle in a geographic setting and a human scale. The Lone Pine diorama was constructed between 1924 and 1927 by the sculptor W Wallace Anderson and the artist Louis McCubbin. It was based on detailed historical research into the appearance of the landscape and the troops involved.
