New Zealanders and the locals on Lemnos

Just like the Australians, our Anzac cousins, the New Zealanders at Gallipoli spent time on Lemnos and interacted with the locals in 1915.
Below is a sequence of lovely photographs, showing an Australian and New Zealand soldier of the New Zealand Mounted Rifles talking to and making friends with some local Lemnian children and giving them a donkey ride.
Who knows the descendents of these children may be living in Australia or New Zealand today.
Enjoy.
