This paper reports on findings thus far from research that is investigating at cartoons from the First World War, and particularly those cartoons that relate to the Gallipoli campaign of April 1915 - January 1916. Cartoons from this period are being investigated to ascertain their potential value as alternative, more personal, sources of information about the perceptions of the geography of the Gallipoli Peninsula of soldiers in the field, their commanders, politicians and the media. We aim to ascertain if the representations of geography in cartoons provides a more personal, insightful representation of geography - personal geographies of warfare. As well, we seek to determine whether this form of representation can impart different perceptions of the Gallipoli campaign - from a European and a colonial viewpoint.
