Event Description

In November 1915, a woman appeared amid the fighting at Gallipoli. She laid a wreath on a grave and then disappeared.

Who was this mysterious visitor? Was she a dedicated nurse who saved the lives of thousands in a 50-year career? Or a famous explorer and friend of Lawrence of Arabia and Winston Churchill?

Join military historian and author John Howell, author of 'The Only Woman at Gallipoli' to learn more about the fascinating story of this mystery woman.
