Lone Pine (tree) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lone Pine (tree)
The Lone Pine was a solitary tree on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey, which marked the site of the Battle of Lone Pine in 1915. Pines which are planted as a memorial to the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who fought in Gallipoli are also known as "Lone Pines" or "Gallipoli Pines", referencing the original tree. ==The original "Lone Pine"== The original "Lone Pine" was a sole survivor of a group of trees that had been cut down by Turkish soldiers who had used the timber and branches to cover their trenches during the battle.〔 The tree was obliterated during the battle; however, pine cones that had remained attached to the cut branches over the trenches were retrieved by two Australian soldiers and brought home to Australia.〔〔 The resultant seedlings were found to be Turkish pines, sometimes regarded as a subspecies of ''Pinus halepensis'' (Aleppo pine), but usually classified as a distinct species, ''Pinus brutia''.〔Spencer, R.D. (1995) ''Horticultural Flora of South-eastern Australia'' 1: 248-249 (University of NSW Press).〕
