-== Gallipoli  Crossing - Do you know when and why it was named? ==
+== Ex Military Service Personnel 1895-2016 ==
-In the Mallala area it is a well known and accepted sign for a location.
+An initiative of Two Wells RSL members, Gary Tancock and John Allen, for the Adelaide Plains Council District and surrounding areas, to remember and acknowledge those who served and those who paid "The Ultimate Sacrifice"
-The disappearance of the sign and the desire to install a replacement has resulted in some puzzling questions. A grant to finance the replacement required research into when & why the crossing was so named.

-It was considered that ''“The landing of the Anzacs at Gallipoli coincided with when the railway construction had reached that point."'' however page 6 of '''The Register''' 22 June 1915 quotes:
-"'''RAILWAY  WORK  PROGRESSING'''
+The project records the details, service history and images of all from the area, who are known to have served since the Boer Wars.
-''Operations in connections with the Salisbury to Long Plains Railway, authorized by an Act in 1913, were commenced at the Salisbury end on April 23 last. The line is to be 34 1/2 miles long."''
+The Mallala museum holds these records and invites you to check that they are complete and accurate. Any omissions will be gratefully received to be added to the collection
