Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee Inc: Lemnos Centenary of Anzac - Commemorative Event 6 - Re-enactment of Historic Anzac Football Match

After much lobbying over the years by our Committee, we witnessed the re-enactment of the famous Anzac football (soccer) match that took place on Lemnos during the Gallipoli campaign.
The sailors of HMAS Success and a team from the Hellenic Army took the role of the 3rd Australian General Hospital and Royal Navy 100 years ago.
The event took place at the great football field at Kontias - a village we know that was visited by the Anzacs in 1915.
It was great to join with the locals to watch this match and I'm sure it will not be the last time an event like this occurs.
Many members of our Committee attended the event - including former South Melbourne Hellas board members and supporters, like Bill Georgandis.
Thanks to the sailors of the HMAS Success and the soldiers of the Hellenic Army for making this unique Lemnos Anzac centenary event happen.
