Lemnos & Gallipoli Revealed on Lemnos - Presentation to Mayor of Lemnos, Mr Dimitrios Marinakis
A big thank you to Mr Dimitris Marinakis, the Mayor of Lemnos, for all his great work in promoting Lemnos and its Anzac link. Our Committee has worked with him over many years to promote the Hellenic link to Anzac, especially during the annual Gallipoli commemorations on the Island.
He is pictured above with former Deputy Mayor and honourary Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee member, Mr Dimitris Boulotis, receiving his copy of our new book - Lemnos & Gallipoli Revealed.
Below are some photographs of Mr Marinakis during the annual Gallipoli service in 2018, with Committee member Malcolm McDonald and President Lee Tarlamis.
The Committee would like to put on record its appreciation for Mr Marinakis' work and support over the years. We look forward to working with him into the future.
If you would like to purchase a copy of Lemnos & Gallipoli Revealed, please contact via email Lee Tarlamis (leetarlamis@hotmail.com) or Jim Claven (jimclaven@yahoo.com.au).
Jim Claven, Secretary, Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee
