World War 1, Europe, Greece, Mudros, 1915

Mudros [or Moudros] comprised a small Greek port on the Mediterranean island of Lemnos. It gained wartime significance with the determination of the Allies in the early part of 1915 to attempt to seize control of the Dardanelles Straits, some 50km away, .During the Dardanelles Campaign of the First World War, the town and its harbour were used as an Allied base.
On 30 October 1918, it was the site of the signing of the Armistice of Mudros, which saw the end of hostilities between the Ottoman Empire and the Allies.
Mudros has a Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) cemetery for 148 Australian and 76 New Zealander soldiers who died during the Gallipoli Campaign.[
