Sketches at Gallipoli
Major Leslie Fraser Standish Hore,
8th Light Horse Regiment (Victoria)
The 44 Gallipoli drawings and sketches of Major Leslie Fraser Standish Hore, 8th Light Horse Regiment (Victoria) are in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales at collection number PXE 702 and 703. Hore worked on small pieces of paper measuring in the main 13 x 17 cms or 12.5 x 55 cms. He does not seem at the time to have titled individual works but he wrote notes on them in pencil. These notes indicate place names and explain particular features of the scene. Later, Hore seems to have added, in pen, further annotations, some titles and his own initials. These works have lain largely unseen in the Mitchell Library since c.1919.
A gallery of Hore's drawings with interpretative material can be seen at www.anzacsite.gov.au
