EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the tense moment during the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I, when the 3rd Light Horse Regiment of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) received a false alarm of an imminent gas attack. The date was April 25, 1915, and the location was the Dardanelles Peninsula in Turkey. The soldiers, including those mounted on horseback, quickly took cover, seeking protection from the feared poison gas. The First World War was a defining moment in world history, and the Battle of Gallipoli is particularly significant in the annals of ANZAC history. This photograph, taken during the early stages of the campaign, offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of trench warfare and the constant threat of chemical attacks that loomed over the soldiers. The 3rd Light Horse Regiment, a part of the Australian Imperial Force, played a crucial role in the initial landings at Gallipoli. Their bravery and tenacity were instrumental in the early stages of the campaign, but the false gas alarm serves as a reminder of the psychological toll that war takes on soldiers. This historical photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers during the Gallipoli Campaign. It also underscores the importance of accurate information and the potential consequences of false alarms in the heat of battle. The image is a testament to the resilience and determination of the soldiers, who continued to fight despite the ever-present dangers they faced.
