SYDNEY: Thousands of poppies were being added to a memorial “wall” at Sydney’s Circular Quay in memory of Australian and New Zealand soldiers who died in World War I’s Gallipoli campaign.

The 2m structure in the shape of a “100” marks the upcoming century since the April 25, 2015 landing of troops on the peninsula in what is now Turkey.
