I particularly wanted to visit because 1 name constantly popped up during my years of searching my family tree and although it wasn't connected to me [that i can discover as yet], he had the almost identical name of my great grandad from Leswalt, Wigtownshire, Scotland and so... he almost feels like one of the family... John Skimming LEES - Royal Scots Fusiliers whom my own great grandfather had served with 1902-1914.

Also, the lighthouse is the second one on the cape. The first one was blown up in WW1... pieces of its copper made in to souvenirs that pop up in museums over the place...including where I work. Those fragments at our museum, after I had taken them out of storage, were placed in a Gallipoli centenary exhibition at the museum the same time I was visiting this memorial...
