EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative map print, published by the Illustrated London News Ltd in 1915, offers a compelling visual representation of the strategic layout of the Gallipoli Peninsula during the First World War. The Dardanelles Campaign, also known as the Gallipoli Campaign, was a major military operation aimed at securing a sea route to Russia through the Turkish Straits. The map illustrates the key locations and distances separating the vital points in the peninsula, with the area held by the Allied forces depicted in a darker tone. The map provides a clear indication of the positions held by the various Allied forces, including the Australians at Gaba Tepe, who played a significant role in the campaign. The map's intricate detail and precise labeling offer valuable insight into the complex geography of the peninsula and the strategic importance of each location. The Gallipoli Peninsula, located in modern-day Turkey, was the site of intense fighting between April and December 1915. The campaign resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, with estimates suggesting that over 100,000 Allied soldiers and 86,000 Ottoman soldiers were killed or wounded. Ultimately, the Allies were forced to withdraw, and the campaign is widely regarded as a failure. Despite the military setbacks, the Gallipoli Campaign had significant political and strategic implications. It led to a shift in the focus of the war effort away from the Western Front and towards the Eastern Front, where the Allies ultimately succeeded in securing a victory against the Central Powers. The campaign also had a profound impact on the Australian and New Zealand military identity, with the ANZACs becoming a symbol of national pride and resilience.
