EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the First World War's Gallipoli Campaign, as soldiers from the Allied forces stand guard on Ghurka Bluff in 1915. The Dardanelles Campaign, also known as the Gallipoli War, was a major military operation aimed at securing a sea route to Russia and weakening the Ottoman Empire, which was allied with Germany and Austria-Hungary. The Allied forces, consisting primarily of British, French, and ANZAC troops, landed on the Gallipoli peninsula on April 25, 1915, and were met with fierce resistance from the Ottoman defenders. The soldiers in this image, their faces etched with the hardships of trench warfare, stand tall and alert, their rifles at the ready. The rugged terrain of Ghurka Bluff, with its steep cliffs and rocky outcrops, provides a challenging and exposed position from which to defend against the enemy. The soldiers' uniforms and equipment, a testament to the harsh conditions they endured, are a stark reminder of the realities of trench warfare during the Great War. The Gallipoli Campaign lasted for nearly nine months, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides. Ultimately, the Allied forces were forced to withdraw in January 1916, having failed to achieve their objectives. The campaign became a symbol of the futility and cost of the First World War, and its legacy continues to shape the historical narrative of the conflict. This powerful photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on all sides during the Gallipoli Campaign and the broader context of the First World War.
