On August 6, the Gallipoli Memorial Club hosted a memorial of the Battle of Lone Pine fought on the Gallipoli peninsula on the same date in 1915. The function was held in the grand surroundings of the NSW Art Gallery and coincidentally during the Archibald Prize week.

Lone Pine is a somewhat forgotten battle, not because it is forgettable but because it has been overshadowed by Anzac Day and the landing of the Australian Armed forces on April 25.
