EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of defeat for a Nationalist Turkish soldier during the assault on Mudanya, Turkey on July 6th, 1920. The soldier, with a resigned expression on his face, is surrounded by British soldiers on board the HMS Royal Sovereign. The historic event marked the end of the Turkish War of Independence and the beginning of the Turkish Republic under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's leadership. The HMS Royal Sovereign, a powerful British battleship, played a significant role in the Allied intervention in the Turkish War of Independence. The assault on Mudanya, also known as the Battle of Mudania or the Battle of Bursa, took place on July 6th, 1920, when the British and Greek forces, with the support of the French and Italian fleets, attacked the Turkish positions in the Marmara Sea. The Turkish forces, led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, put up a fierce resistance, but were ultimately defeated, leading to the signing of the Armistice of Mudanya on October 11th, 1922. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the historical significance of the events that unfolded in Turkey during the early 20th century. The image also highlights the role of the British Royal Navy in shaping the political landscape of the region and the world. The photograph's authenticity and historical value make it an invaluable addition to any collection of Turkish or military history.
