EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures the pivotal moment when General Charles Carmichael Monro was sent as a replacement to Sir Ian Hamilton in the Dardanelles campaign of October 1915. After a series of disastrous events, including heavy casualties and failed military strategies, Hamilton was recalled to England. It was then that Monro stepped in and recommended an immediate withdrawal from the Dardanelles.
His recommendation was met with agreement from Lord Kitchener, and thus began the evacuation process which would ultimately be carried out with practically no further casualties. This decision marked a turning point in the campaign, saving countless lives and preventing further loss on both sides.
The image of General Monro standing tall amidst this tumultuous period in history is one of great importance and significance. His leadership and strategic thinking played a crucial role in bringing about an end to the suffering endured by so many during this time.
As we reflect on this moment captured in black and white, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely for their countries, as well as the critical decisions made by leaders like General Monro that shaped the course of history.
