EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the imposing presence of the Sedd el Bahr Fortress, also known as the Gallipoli Fortress, during the First World War. Located at the narrowest point of the Dardanelles Strait in Turkey, this historic fortification played a pivotal role in the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915. The Sedd el Bahr Fortress, which translates to 'Fortress of the Sea Horses' in Arabic, was built by the Ottoman Empire in the late 15th century to protect the strategic entry to the Dardanelles. However, during the First World War, it became a symbol of Turkish resistance against the Allied forces who sought to control the strait and secure a sea route to Russia. The photograph shows the fortress in all its glory, with its massive walls and towering bastions standing tall against the backdrop of the azure sea. The intricate details of the fortifications are clearly visible, from the cannons positioned at the top of the towers to the intricate patterns adorning the walls. The image also reveals the rugged terrain of the surrounding cliffs, which provided a natural defense against invading forces. The Gallipoli Campaign was a costly and brutal battle that lasted from April to December 1915. The Allied forces, led by Australia and New Zealand, suffered heavy losses in their attempt to capture the peninsula and force their way through the Dardanelles. The Turkish defenders, led by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, held their ground and ultimately emerged victorious. This photograph is a testament to the historical significance of the Sedd el Bahr Fortress and the role it played in the First World War. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides and the enduring power of fortifications in shaping the course of history.
