Not Lemnos Island but Imbros Island. I have checked from the writings of Australian official war correspondent and historian Charles Bean. He wrote of it as "a complete fake. It was taken at Imbros. The Australians are from the Field Bakery, and the Turk is a prisoner from the camp there."

Scrolling the pages of a high school textbook. And it starts with a claim that the Australians helped 'liberate' Palestine from the Ottoman Empire.
