EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the harsh reality of life in the Gallipoli camp during the First World War. Taken in 1915, the image shows the rugged cliffs at Gallipoli, Turkey, where Allied forces had established a foothold in their attempt to control the Dardanelles and secure a sea route to Russia. The soldiers in this photograph can be seen huddled in the funk holes and dug-outs carved into the cliffside, providing them with some protection from the enemy's gunfire and the elements. The Gallipoli campaign, also known as the Dardanelles Campaign, was a major military operation that took place between February and December 1915. The Allied forces, consisting primarily of British, French, and Australian troops, faced off against the Ottoman Turkish army and their German advisors. The campaign was marked by intense and brutal fighting, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. The soldiers in this photograph are likely part of the Anzac Corps, the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, which played a significant role in the Gallipoli campaign. The Anzacs were known for their tenacity and bravery in the face of overwhelming odds, and their experiences at Gallipoli would go down in history as a defining moment in the military and cultural histories of both Australia and New Zealand. Despite the difficult conditions and the constant threat of enemy attack, the soldiers in this photograph manage to find moments of respite in the relative safety of their dug-outs. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human spirit and the enduring courage of the soldiers who fought in the Gallipoli campaign, and the sacrifices they made for their countries during the Great War.
