Moudros

Moudros (Greek: Μούδρος) is a town and a former municipality on the island of Lemnos, North Aegean, Greece.

During the Dardanelles Campaign of the First World War, the town and its harbour were used as an Allied base, commanded by Admiral Rosslyn Wemyss.

On 30 October 1918, it was the site of the signing of the Armistice of Mudros, which saw the end of hostilities between the Ottoman Empire and the Allies.

Moudros has a Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) cemetery for 148 Australian and 76 New Zealander soldiers who died during the Gallipoli Campaign.
