EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment Lord Kitchener, British Secretary of State for War and a key military figure during World War I, embarks aboard the Destroyer H.M.S. Laforey in Athens, Greece, in November 1915. Having completed a tour of the eastern Mediterranean, Kitchener's visit to Gallipoli was a pivotal point in his journey. The military situation at Gallipoli, where the Allied forces were engaged in a costly and stalemated campaign against the Ottoman Empire, was of great concern. Kitchener's assessment of the Gallipoli campaign was crucial, as he was responsible for the strategic direction of the war effort. His evaluation would ultimately influence the decision to withdraw Allied forces from the peninsula, marking a significant turning point in the conflict. Following his visit to Gallipoli, Kitchener made his way back to the UK via Greece and Italy. In this image, he is seen boarding the H.M.S. Laforey, which was to take him to his next destination. The Destroyer's crew salutes as Kitchener, dressed in a heavy overcoat and hat, makes his way down the gangplank. The photograph offers a glimpse into the historic moment, capturing the determination and resolve of a man at the heart of the war effort. This photograph is a poignant reminder of Lord Kitchener's significant role in the military history of World War I and the Eastern Mediterranean. Taken in 1915, the image offers a unique insight into a pivotal moment in the life of a man who would go down in history as a key military figure and a symbol of the British war effort.
