My fourth great grandfather fought against the Anzacs in the Gallipoli Campaign. He fought as an Ottoman Artilleryman, (he's on the extreme left on the image) the Kabalak was worn by him during the battle, and the map was given to him and others in the the 57th Infantry Regiment to remind them of their Turkish homeland. If you realized, it's just a print of a classical map by a French guy, and you can find the full map on the Library of Congress. The edge was folded so much I just couldn't scan it though.
