EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bravery and determination of the British forces during the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915. The scene depicts a section of the Royal Naval Division making a daring charge against the Ottoman defenses in the Gallipoli peninsula. At the extreme left of the image, an officer, with a conspicuous red cross on his hat, leads the charge. The officer's prominent role in the attack is significant, as it was the duty of subalterns, or junior officers, like him, to expose themselves in the forefront of the assault. By doing so, they inspired the courage and resolve of the brave men under their command with their own dauntless spirits. The large size of the subalterns in the photograph is a testament to their crucial role in the attack. The First World War, also known as the Great War, saw the employment of numerous soldiers in the Dardanelles Campaign, with the Gallipoli peninsula being one of its most iconic battlegrounds. This historical image offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the British forces during this pivotal moment in World War I history.
