Çanakkale Martyrdom Hospital Museum, Part Two

Beyond the immediate pain of triage, surgery and emergency related activities, the Çanakkale Martyrdom Hospital had plenty of rehab and recovery to oversee. So says the dioramas.

Çanakkale Martyrdom Hospital Museum, Part One

The Çanakkale Martyrdom Hospital Museum at Gallipoli is an amazing place. The museum is housed in a former hospital in Alçıtepe and it is room after room, detailed diorama after diorama of the work and conditions at the facility. Relive the pain!

When in need, pitch a big, green tent in front of the permanent hospital building.

Outside, a nurse performs triage. Inside the tent, the patients are packed in.

Concerned family members arrive.

"That hurts!" Bandaging a hand and wrapping a head. Bloody work.

More quick surgery with a sad nurse keeping busy, washing dressings.
