On Monday I got not only six postcards but also three covers including one from Turkey.
Stamps:
Ishak Pasha Palace (from set of two) (issued 26-02-2016)
Animals (from set of three) (issued 31-12-2015)
Inside was a Turkish maxicard about the Battle of Gallipoli.
The Battle of Gallipoli was fought by British and French forces from April 1915 onwards. They tried to open the Dardanelles strait to the Allied fleets to get access to the Ottoman capital Constantinople, today's Istanbul. The campaign ended in January 1916 with an Ottoman victory.
The card shows the Çanakkale Martyrs' Memorial and the Respect to Mehmetçik Monument.
The stamp on the card is from a set of three and was issued on 18th March 2015 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Gallipoli.
Thank You very much Öykü!
